Water pumps aren't all that expensive. I think I got mine at NAPA for like $80, comes with a seal. I've actually got one here, but again, it was decided not to fix something that wasn't broke. Water Pump leaks are not an inevitability, like timing belt wear or rear mains. They could go at any moment, or last forever. So I took a chance to save that much labor while the motor was out.

Once the motor is out and the timing belt is off, the water pump it all of 8 bolts to replace. I did mine on the SVX when I had everything apart even though it looked in pretty good shape. Of course my pump had 220kmiles on it.
