All '98-'00 use the same oil pump. It is not '98 specific.
IMO, there is no reason to replace the pump in a '98-00 engine unless you're already in there doing a cam swap or you have some serious low oil pressure issues. Just being a '98-'00 engine alone doesn't warrant a pump swap. Tons of '98-'00 cars have 80-150k miles on the stock pump without issue.
