vacume pumps 89-90 to 91-93 whats the differences

Hi, I am in the middle of a Cummins swap and am using a 1990 motor in a 92 RC with original 92 harnesses for several reasons. Anyways, will I have any issues using the original vacume/power steering pump in the 92 truck? I noticed as I went through everything after the install that my defroster didnt seem to work. I know the vacume lines help control this stuff. Thank you for any helpful info

Yes it does. Do they work the same way? Why does the earlier model have the large diaphram on the side?

I believe they do the same thing I think the early truck's were that way and then they had to redisign them when they put the IC into the truck .

The only difference that I know of is the obvious, '89-'91 use diaphragm pumps and the '91.5-'98 use a vane style pump and have an oil supply line from the main oil galley in the block.
