Get a kit and reseal it. No big deal. Off the car, take out the outlet fitting and the bolt/stud and the pump will come out of the reservoir. Big Oring seal and a couple of Orings on the back. Easy fix. shaft seal is a little more difficult, but still doable.
If you do swap pumps, thnk about taking the outlet fitting/pressure regulator from the original and put it in the new one. I recall seeing something about Vettes having a different one than other cars. Maybe not. Might be worth doing a little research.
