water pump..?

a year and 3 months since i bought my 98 Z28 and now its making a noise like a pully is rattling or shaking.. i removed the belt and rotated all the pullies it seems that the water pump is going bad. also my low coolant light it lit i dont know if it has anything to do with it..anyway its not leaking yet but its a good idea to replace it and play safe. my question is will LS6 water pump fit my LS1? any benifts? i heard its lighter and will fit no problem. just wanted to be sure on what to get, any advices or comments are welcomed

thanks.

Really? What is this then? http://www.atlanticspeed.com/product...&idcategory=79

Not trying to be sarcastic it all, or doubting you. I just wonder why companies sell pullies for them if they are not replaceable.

Edit: Ah I looked up a pic of a stock LS1 water pump, i don't see the bolt holes like the Edelbrock one.. Makes no sense..
