Do i have to pull timing cover to go back to stock waterpump?

OK- i am wanting to try to go back to a stock water pump,

However, i need the gear drive shaft from the cam to the pump, and the coupler, and the pump.

The pump i can get- but what do i have to do to install the rest?

Thanks

if the water pump drive gear was removed then you'll have to remove not only the timing cover, but also the cam gear and timing chain to reinstall it.

I bought the car w/ the electric pump on it- and 2 saturdays ago i started havin problems w/ it overheating - so i've flushed everything and all that good stuff-.. no water in the oil..- checked my rad cap- it was bad, so i got a new one, took the pressure tester and pressure tested my coolant system- found that the waterpump motor housing was leaking ( telling me that the seal inside was bad in order for water to get to the outside of the motor housing) and so i put my finger over where it was leaking- and it held pressure in the 17-19psi range on my gauge ( w/ my gauge 17-19 is the same small green square)..
but after i pressureized it is when that seal gave out and my waterpump didnt work anymore..
