Default hydroboost ps pump on a vacuum booster

Had my ps pump go out on my 5.3 swap GMC jimmy. I have an extra hydroboost pump laying around. Anyone know if they are able to swap? I noticed the hydroboost has 3 ports as opposed to 2. Is this for the extra 2 returns? Can I just block one off?

Default

yeah the extra port is a return for the return line from the hydroboost pump, so just seal it.
if it's a nipple where you connect a hose with a hose clamp, then it's not high pressure and a return port so you're good. if it's a threaded fitting then you might have something else going on.
