There's a ton of info to be had by using the search button, but even that aint necessary because there's a current thread where someone just asked the same question.
Instead of regurgitating the info, here's the thread for ya!

got mine from NAPA for $150, new. i would also advise to get a new 203* thermostat ($40+/-) and a new thermostat housing ($23+/-) AND its a good time to replace your Upper radiator hose to a hose that goes around the serpentine belt instead of through it ($12+/-) AND may as well replace your lower hose ($12) also instead of waiting to dump a lot of antifreeze out when it fails. Just my .02.

Gonna be doing a water pump and fan clutch this weekend. I got my water pump from northern auto and its a new Airtex unit, then I pucked up a Hayden fan clutch from rock auto. Do a search for more info, also there is another video on how to do a water pump I think its over at thedieselstop.

its not a bad job at all, just make sure you have a pulley holder tool. if not, you will learn some new words. also, the fan hub nut is a 47mm or 48mm, i forget exactly which one. if you dont have a fan wrench that big a pipe wrench will also work

The upper radiator hose that goes around the belt is for the dual alternator setup.
The billet housing doesn't mate well with the less than flat cast iron block. I cleaned all the surfaces and put a bead of RTV down before bolting the housing to the block (don't ask how I figured this out
). I also went and bought a new lower housing too since I had a small leak coming out of mine.

my pump came with a new lower housing. i also used only the crappy rubber oring and had a leak so i took it back off, ran a healthy bead of permatex waterpump sealnat around it and it seems tight as a tick now. no leaks at all.
