I suggest you go back and re-read this thread from the beginning, I think we're beginning cover some ground the second time.

Yes, there is an adjustment for the fan belt tension and I'm sure we've discussed this before. The pump body is an eccentric mounting in the block, loosen the 5 nuts on the pump retaining collar or ring and rotate the pump body to loosen or tighten the belts. And of course remove the 5 nuts and move the collar forward off the studs to remove the pump from the block.

Yes, the fan can be removed without removing the radiator. And with the fan off, you can remove the pump without removing the pulley.

New gaskets are readily available for the side jacket. And yes, be gentle, the little bolts do tend to break off.
