Problem is this pump will fit under the alternator and be a PITA to check the fluid or even fill it right. The guy has the alternator brackets too, and pulleys. Going to just check out what he has and if it's reasonable I might go for it as long as it's all complete. Ahh, starting with nothing is fun.
when i did my lwp i got a chrome ps pulley off advance auto's shelf that fit perfect it was a key way.
just keep in mind the clearance you'll have between your rad and fan if you swap too a lwp.
with the oe engine mounts in the front holes and a clutch fan mine was too close for comfort thats why i'm swapping too the swp stuff and so far my mock up is goin great..
