It is smart/wise to rebuild the bowl/houseing at the same time. Is this a weekend project?

Most important thing I can think of to say is that when you unbolt the old pump, rotate the motor by hand and watch and make sure the pump rises up off the block. This will put the cam lobe as high as possible and prevent the tappet from falling in the motor.
Also, be careful if you have to pry the old pump off, sometimes they break off in the engine block.
Otherwise it's not too bad of a job.
Good luck.
