not a good idea, two pumps are probably not exactly the same, and one will have gravity assist, the other will be fighting gravity. THat is a recipe for floods. :(

 

You can buy overflow boxes, usually for about $50. They are big and ugly.

 

Your best bet is to drain and empty the 34, then drill a hole, and make a spill box or stand-pipe of some kind.
