Default Meziere EWP help

Hey guys, anyone with a meziere pump tried replacing a meziere pump? I know , tricky question. My meziere unit is leaking and I have a spare tested in working order one on the side, I have 2 questions about the replacement.

question 1, will my ac accumulator get in the way of me trying to replace the unit?

question 2, I bought a new water pump cover o ring to use on the new meziere unit, should I use silicone? Or is the new o ring all that I need?

My mechanic used silicone and the o ring on the first pump that is currently installed and I have a feeling the silicone is what is causing it to leak. Tried searching the forum but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated, oh yea, my car is a 96 CE

I installed my Meziere with just the o-ring. No leaks for over 10 years.

At least 5 years on mine, just the o-ring. No leaks.
