All I know is the 01+ have the better oil pumps, I think your oil pump is the same as an ls6 design. Ls1howto.com shows how to install but not positive of it shows how to port.

SLP sells the shim and it installs by removing an 8mm allen plug on the side of the pump. Add thread locker and reassemble.
If you decide to do it yourself and need torque specs, let me know.

I've dis-assembled and measured pre and post 2001 pumps (LS1 / LS6), and they were identical. Even had the same casting numbers on the case. IMO no such thing as an "LS6" pump. If you ever had one apart you'd agree.

It will be obvious to you when you look at the oil pump where to remove some material. I'll see if I can find the pics. PM me your email address.
