Installing Injection Pump and Water Pump same time?

[Bighorn]

From what I can tell the major difficulty of replacing the injection pump on the 6.2 is getting at the timing gear bolts through the oil fill tube.
So since my radiator was shot from corrosion I have ordered a Delco water pump as well.
I am thinking that while I have the water pump out that exposes the timing gear and those injection pump bolts.
Is that true?
Doesn't that timing plate have to come off with the water pump?
If so it might make my job a lot easier to do the water pump and injection pump simultaneously.

By the way; Miller Fab got my radiator in but it was Plastic and aluminum.
So Scott at Miller said; "That ain't good enough."
He found me a Brass and copper radiator in Oklahoma City and is having that shipped out.
Not cheap at nearly $500 but a lot more durable.

True on both accounts. If you need to do both, its the perfect time.

Thank You!
That is what it looks like.
Glad to have confirmation.

Best time to do the timing gears and chain too. Check you balancer as well.
