Consider doing the motor mount at the same time you do the pump. The rubber in the mount cracks fairly quickly and at your mileage, its most likely on its last legs. classic symptom of failure is a vibration at 3k rpms and the shift knob moving back when you accelerate.
Doing the pump and mount at the same time makes doing both a breeze if you DIY. To replace the pump you have to remove several hoses, which makes access to the mount much easier. And when you dothe mount, you have to lower the engine several inches which makes access to the pump much easier.
