Greenlight and I were having a conversation about that a while ago but I can't find the post anywhere. He was the one that knew more of the specs that should be used in a pump and said he even had an extra one sitting around. I would try to message him and see if he'll comment help you out.

Maybe this is something?

I guess you could make a custom bracket & pulley and run the vacuum pump at the airco compressor position?

A vacuum pump is the best way to go, but if you are only worried about dripping oil on the track and in the engine bay, just add a Jaz breather catch can. On my current engine project I'll be running one of those off the front KV. Here's a picture of the setup:

yes I have a catch can I'm gonna install. but having vacuum all the time in the krank case has its benefits too. I had assumed the kv's kept enuf vacuum in the crank case that it would say in neg pressure between corners.

yes I understand. thats why I was looking for more info about the pumps. Only ones I can find are big and belt driven which I don't want.
