if one of them were blown, would the car turn over and not start or not even turn over at all?

Possible... my memory is fuzzy on which wires were fused near the starter, but I could have sworn it was the lead coming from the alternator and another small +12v lead, but not the big lead coming from the battery to the starter. There may be other fusible links in the harness as well, I just know about the two I saw near the starter.
Is your starter clicking and turning over but the engine not firing?

Ah-hah... well with that said, it sounds like the starter is doing its job. There are a lot of guys on here with more experience than I when it comes to motors turning over but not firing up... anything I would say at this point would just be speculation 
But I would feel pretty comfortable saying it's likely not the fusible links.

Just a question -- did you replace the fuses in both fuse blocks (engine and under the passenger footwell)? It definitely sounds like a grounding issue, cut wire, or blown fuse associated with your electric water pump install.
