Yeah. Usually. Sometimes, you can take the top radiator brackets off to lean it forward for more space -- that is if there is any ''give'' in that direction.
With the radiator out of the way, there is a much clearer shot at the Water Pump. But then you gotta refill all the coolant anyway. Might as well go whole hog: new coolant, new T-Stat, new hoses, new clamps...
But in normal circumstances it's doable.
Just be very careful not to touch the back vanes on the radiator with wrenches, fans, pulley parts or water pumps. They are quite fragile, and bend easy.
If you have AT coolant lines in the radiator, then not so much flex. And A/C parts [admittedly a mystery to me] or trans pre-cooler in front may get in the way.
