Two thoughts.
Did you install new coolant? If so did you mix it with water? 50/50. I have seen several engines run hot after a water pump change because straight coolant was used.
I changed a water pump on my 48 Chevy and encountered overheating at idle. It turned out the impeller was slipping on the shaft. Poor quaility control on the rebuilders part. I pulled the pump and pinned the impeller
