The documentation I see online shows test pressures of mid 3's at high idle. Will the 3.0 be sufficient or do I need the 6.5 to deliver the full pressure?

Bill,
There is no such thing as 'fuel pump pressure for a 1976 911 with CIS'. Nor the replacement pumps can bet set to a specific pressure. The FP is rated by its delivery (volumetric flow per unit time). For example, you would need a FP for a '76 with a delivery (capacity) of 2 liters (minimum) per minute. So if you use a FP for your car with only 1.0 liter per minute (flow rate), it would not be able to deliver the needed fuel. And the recorded fuel pressure would be too low.
There are three (3) critical CIS components you have to consider to get the correct fuel pressures (control and system) and they are:
Fuel pump
Warm up regulator
Fuel distributor
