Here's an alternative method I used if you're interested.. Install a "universal reservoir" with the pump attached to it.. Disconnect the wires at the OG pump and route the wires from the new pump to that plug.. The new pump will be activated from the original wiper switch.
The plus to doing it this way is all the water lines are now outside the cab, no more wet carpet from a leaky hose or pump..
[EDIT] If you go this route, it's not necessary to remove the old pump..

Instead of rebuilding my old pump this is the route I took. This is an early 1990's S10 reservoir with pump, if I remember correctly. Made a short wiring harness, routed it through the fender with the fluid hose, and even used one of the holes in the firewall grommet for the old hoses as the pass through for the wiring. I think it pumps better than the old units ever did.
