Well since the water pump is driven by the timing belt, you will need to do everything that involves a timing belt job. Got to take off the side motor mount plate, timing cover, loosen the tensioner, take off belt(or set to the side enough to get the pump out), and its been a while, but i believe the water pump bolts are behind the rear part of the timing cover, so you will need to remove the cam gears also...Have fun..
