Technically all you have to do is remove the old water pump, remove the drive coupling, disassemble the old pump, drive it apart, install the freeze plug and new motor.
There is the potential for an oil leak unless you remove the timing cover and remove the water pump drive entirely but it isn't absolutely required.
