Pretty easy to do, <3hours first time, 1hr 2nd time. Take a reach behind the A/C compressor and if you think you can unbolt the pump by feel, you do not have to remove A/C compressor. But easiest to see what you are doing, if you set aside the A/C compressor, bracket and all( no need to disconnect hoses and lose charge). Remove belts and flop alternator out of way to get to 12mmbolt at bottom of A/C bracket. Unbolt remaining A/C bracket bolts and set A/C on towel on intake manifold. Unbolt water pump, note which bolts go where, clean sealing surface thoroughly, and replace pump. Get a pump with the cast iron impeller...sobstory(a site sponser) has them. In addition to new hoses, you might consider replacing your alternator bracket lower bushings and maybe the big bolt alternator mount bushings, and new belts.
