I ride with 16t on the drive side and 19t on the non drive side (both Freewheels) and I don’t need a different chain when I flip to 19t. With the 16t my axle sets in the middle of dropout. With the 19t the axle sets towards inside of the dropouts with enough room to push forward so I can remove the chain. You should be fine.
