electric vac. pumps would seem to be the answer for a lot of reasons. i have them in some of my customer's cars & they work great. the downsides? they draw a LOT of elec. power & i've had a few i've sent back for warrenty twice. i'm not sure if oil mist is getting into the pumps & killing them or what, shouldn't be but i can't say for sure, they keep sending me new ones. of coarse oil mist in a belt driven pump is welcomed for lubrication & vane sealing. if i was put on the spot, i'd say, right now electric pumps are more for short duration usage. in a perfect world they have some positives, no doubt about it.
