That pump will work. The pressure side hose fitting at back of pump will be different. You can get a hose with proper end or change out the fitting in back of pump to the earlier version. The later models use an O-ring - early uses a flare IIRC.
Or flare to o-ring adapter...
I was able to use the same HP hose I had on my Saginaw 2f power steering setup when I did my LS swap by putting this little bad boy in the back of the stock 2001 Silverado 5.3 PS pump.

The pump that's on motor has 3 hoses coming out. BUY 2-line pump or is there a way to cap off other line?
I've never seen a 3 line pump, sorry.
I'm only familiar with 2 line, high pressure and return

Since it’s a 6.0 it’s probably removed from a 2500 that has hydroboost brakes. That’s why there’s an additional return port.
The reservoir can easily be swapped out for one with only one. Two bolts and it’s off.
