Bill, you can remove your water pump without removing the radiator, just remove the fan first. If you get some interference from the front motor mount, you may have to put a jack under the oil pan and relieve the sag of the front mount to get at the lower pump bolts.

It's an entirely different than the pump on IrishPackard's car which is very easily owner-rebuilt. For yours, another option in addition to outright purchase of a new pump is to send the pump to a rebuilder like Gould rebuilders - usually a 5 day turnaround, and perhaps $100 or so.
