If it has a distributor, then that is what drives the oil pump. The camshaft is what makes the distributor turn.
If it does not have a distributor then the gear on the oil pump slides over the front of the crankshaft and turns when the crankshaft turns and that is what makes the oil pump work. Early 99 models had a distributor, and the late 99 did not have one.
