Check your codes first! The '95 is still OBD1 and you can check the codes with a paper clip grounding out the A & B terminals on the diagnostic connector, turning the key to ON (DO NOT START IT!) and reading the codes as they flash. You should get a code 12 to flash 3X, then it will proceed with the next code(s), each flashing 3X. Write them down and find out what they are. If there's a problem w/ the vacuum pump you will likely have a boost code stored. If you are losing vacuum from the pump seizing, you should be losing boost and possibly see black smoke coming from the exhaust as this happens; especially under load.
Being that the pump isn't turning, it can certainly be bad. Remove the belt and see how it spins, it will get stiff as it spins, but should then loosen again.... If it is actually binding, it's shot.
