From what I understand, vacuum pumps are not all that practical on daily drivers, they're more for an all out drag application. That's pretty much the extent of my knowledge, maybe someone else can chime in with better info.
What caught my attention is that I know the owner of the company that you posted the link to (he's my boss' father), and he told me a while ago that that kit was developed around the corvette accessories and engine bay and would probably need modification for f-bodies.
have you tried some of the cheaper possible fixes like a catch can?

i seen it was fit for the vette but it looked like it would fit on a f-body pretty easily.

I'd give the guy a call (link in the first post). He really knows his stuff and he did tell me that he has a customer with a camaro and one of his kits, so maybe he could describe what if anything had to be modified.

A 99 F body should be similar. The key is this. The vacuum pump fits between the belt tensioner and the water resevoir in the C5. We replace the tensioner pulley with our own and mount the pump on the pass side head. It fits perfect. So you should have an LS1 which is what it is designed to fit, and will fit as long as the tensioner is in the same location as the C5. If for some reason you have an LT1 then our standard mounting kit using a separate crank pulley and mount off the head will work, but you do need an after market bolt on keyed balancer. This assumes you have the room infront of the serpentine and balancer for another pulley, which was the problem with the C5
Hope we can help.
