there was a bit more stuff as well...but I didn't want to list everything.
I can scan my invoice if you like, so you can scrutinize it.
Ahh that's probably ok then. I was just thinking that seems like a bit of a rip for a part that takes 20 minutes to replace.
For about 1/4 of that cost you could have just hooked up an electric fan with a constantly variable speed control. :shifty: That's what I plan to do if mine start's givin me crap this summer.

How sure are you that the used pump is 100%? That's where I would look. The pump does not fail completely-it slowly fades away. All the 2000-2002 cars it came on are pretty old now. I would use a new pump in your situation.
If you go with the electric fan setup. I would think a 2003-2006 LS unit would just about bolt in? Remember the factory dumped the hydraulic set up starting in 2003. Maybe use a self contained external fan controller with adjustable set points. The street rod guys use these all the time. Run a extra wire so the fans comes on with the A/C.
