Default LT1 Timing change swap w/electric pump?

I am going to have a cam swap done this spring on my 1996 Z28 and I am getting my parts together. I already have an electric water pump, so I am looking for a roller timing chain (other than the expensive LT4) as a replacement. As I understand, you can use a standard SBC roller timing chain, if you have an electric water pump. I am just checking to see if the one listed in the link below is the correct one?

Thanks!

You can use any sbc chain that is for a standard roller cam, it has to be the small center distance. I would call summit to verify, but i am pretty sure that will work.

That part number looks really familiar. I'm pretty sure that's the same chain I put on when I switched over to a CSI water pump.

That is what I have. Works fine, although you have to clearance the timing cover just a bit. As with all double rollers on an LT1.
