You will be fine.
Strap it on,set it at about 20" and let it rip.
If ya haven't got the belt and pulleys yet get a Gilmer belt drive. They will make the little pump last longer from not having to be so tight. Plumb it in such a way as to get a small amount of oil to pass through the pump also.

You may want to check your informant, he MAY have given you some....uhhhhh...bad info. Come see for yourself, in the other lane.
You can mount the hoses on the top of the cover as long as there is a baffle underneath

They will sell ya anything. Personally I don't care if Ya run two of them it's your engine. Is it just for bragging just to say ya got one?????If ya put the vacuum over 10/12 inches where ya gain a little HP from it ya suck all the splash oiling down and it don't get to where it needs to get. Like I said a dry sump is different as most everything is pressure fed. 12' only gains ya about 10-12FWHP on a 427" SBC that ran in the 7's with hose. I personally saw this at BES in Ohio.
You have never run/owned one and suddenly you are an expert.

I certainly hope you are not talking to me, after I asked if you could explain the points in your post. I am inclined to think you are just continuing the witty banter with your estranged son.

From GMZ website:
Net vacuum in a wet sump drag race engine should not exceed 15" hg max at maximum rpm. Many engine builders recommend 10" to 12". Dry sump engines can be run at 20" hg net. Check your vacuum on the dyno or on the track. Install a vacuum control valve if you exceed recommended vacuum level.
