Narrative:
Removed and replaced (right/right) right-hand (r/h) engine hydraulic pump on a B767-200 aircraft. [I] could not find part number (P/north) for hydraulic pump installed in illustrated parts catalog (ipc). [I] had to use boeing drawing to show effectivity for aircraft. [Talking with an] FAA inspector; who was working another aircraft and the subject of parts not in the ipc and having to use a boeing drawing for effectivity; he told me it violated our company policy and procedures manual (ppm) and that the ipc is what is used to certify ETOPS parts.
