Let us know how the water pump/:thermostat install goes...I've been pondering doing that myself but it looks like a bear of a job due to where those components are located.

Water pump and thermostat are easy if you can, say, install a downpipe. Takes 2-3 hours. Just be ready for the downpour
You should renew the hose between the pump and the thermostat as well. It doesn't do well with reinstalling since it's malleable. Don't forget to replace those stretch bolts that connect the pump to the block. They are not meant to be reused.
