The 86 up pumps are all serpentine belt reverse rotation and are the most popular ones. The more cars a part fits, the cheaper the parts beacome. The water pump for my Laguna cost $25 brand new since it fits every 69- 93 Chevy small block, only about 25 millon made in that timeframe.
A stock replacment pump or rebuilt one should work fine in your car. Hipo pumps are mostly a waste of money for an average street driven car, except for shiny polished ones for cosmetic reasons.
