if the pump's still there what have you moved already? there is the plumbing to the A/C rad and also into the cabin obviously.

yes just undo both pipes and join pipes from engine together with a piece of hose (eliminating heater matrix) getting the matrix out and fan is the hardest part but does come out with persistance and locating all nuts behind dash
