Default ssb vacuum pump install

ive got an 81. Has anybody put one of these vacuum pumps in before? Im trying to see the best place to put this pump, not a lot of room under the hood. Does anyone have pics of one installed. the engines got 6 pounds of vacuum at idle. The head lights do not move unless i wake the throttle , no brakes after the 2nd pump, im thinking this pump should take care of all this.

So is your vac so low because of cam mods or leaks?
IMHO a Hydroboost is a better way to go, the vac pumps are noisy and I have yet to hear anything good about them. Hydroboost can be done for a couple hundred and will last forever
