Family album illustration 173-00 shows one pump for headlight 
washer.  Illustration 172-05 shows same pump for windshield 
washer.  There's a second pump for the special detergent tank on V8 
windshield washer systems.  The pump in 173-00 feeds a tee connector to 
both the headlight system and the windshield system.   I see only one line 
coming off the main reservoir in my wife's V8.  But I haven't examined it 
from the bottom to see if there's a second pump down there.
