239 Waterpump Replacement - Engine Support

I've got a stock 239 in each of my trucks. One of them is in need of a water pump replacement. The water pump is of the style where it is also an engine mount. Can I safely remove one water pump and rely on the engine being supported by the other water pump and from the rear or do I need to provide alternate support to the block?

Use a jack and flat block of wood under the pan to support the engine.
