Small update. The Monday after our last trip, I went out to the shop to find a huge puddle of coolant under the truck. I guess at some point on the way home the OEM water pump gave up the ghost. I monitor the temp like a hawk, so I know there was no overheating.
For all you LS swap guys, go ahead and spend the money for a new one before you put your truck on the road. I'm so glad it didn't happen on my shakedown run.
I picked a new water pump online. Got it swapped out and now I'm back on the road. Drove the truck to work today. All is great
Old pump out:

Awesome weather today in Oklahoma, perfect to drive my classic to work.
