I was working on the same issue.
In my truck (1968) C-20 you can find the pump attached.
For 1968/1969 the banjo style was the right one. During my last stop in the work shop they build in a new teardrop style is working fine (but some issues with the belt length, see here:
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=729685. The reason could be the brackets or production inaccuracy of the new pump). The difference between the pumps are first the reservoir style but second also the position of the small pipe and the bolts for the brackets.

I have no idea if you can buy pump and tool together but you can find the tool: THEXTON 383 Power Steering Belt Tightener GM Type Saginaw Pumps
