The car runs fine without the pump, but it is nice to have it working so you can here it cycling on and off if you have a vacuum leak. I'll try to fix the one I have and order a new one if it can't be fixed since the price is less then 100 right now.

I thought the same thing till I bought a new one off curt white in BG in lets say 04 (the year isn't important). By the end of the weekend I was able to collapse it fully with a very soft squeeze. However I'm not going to convert any non-believers around here so I'm going to let this die

Well I got the car back from the paint shop and she is looking mighty fine. I took the vacuum pump off and brought it to work to day. There was a lot of corrosion and the motor was seized up. Cleaned it up real good and cleaned the contacts on the switch and a little spray lubricant and it is running perfect now. :) Now when I put it back on I just need to find and replace the fuse since it should be bad since the motor was seized. By the way anybody got any tips for repairing a sagging headliner on the painted top? Slowly but surely she is shaping up.

i've heard 3m spay adhesive works well but have no experience with it

Just replace the headliner. It's easy to do since the top comes out of the car. There are a few threads on this. :)
