Before you do this clean your engine thoroughly in this area. I did this on my 94 SE last summer. There is a small o ring that goes on the hard pipe. It is secured by a little bracket with a 10mm bolt. I remember three bolts holding the pump in place. Couple of tips;
1. Clean motor so you dont contaminate rings on reassembly
2. If you are over 5'4" tall best to put car up on ramps to minimize amount of bending you will have to do. Also helps for draining coolant by removal of lower radiator hose.
3. Good time to consider new coolant, serp belt, pulley, new lower rad hose and little U hose on pump since you are in the neighborhood. Thermostat as well evn though it is on the other side of the motor. These are all cheap items that will cause trouble in future if ignored.
4. Remember to remove ALL the brackets that hold the hard pipe in place or you will revise your vocabulary.
