88 l98 vette engine questions

i did a search and didnt find the info i was looking for. I am in the process of transplanting a 1988 corvette L98 in to my 1982 trans am. My question is: does the factory cam have the provision for a manual fuel pump? At this time I want to keep my carb set up. any direction would be great. thanks

Yes the L98 cam.. has the fuel pump lobe..if you chose to retain your Carb setup..
you will need to look at the block... many blocks were not drilled out.. to accept the fuel pump rod....
