Hi folks - I need some advice.

I bought my  '76 Midget knowing that the fan clutch was slipping.  I
had planned on replacing the fan clutch assembly.  I've now learned
that I may have the option of replacing the existing fan clutch
assembly with a water pump that has a solid fan assembly hence no
clutch to slip.  Seems like a good idea to me.  I've never replaced a
water pump before but my manual seems fairly detailed and I'm
willing to give it a shot.

So my questions:
Any reason I should just replace the clutch assembly?
If I replace the entire water pump, any pre-repair warnings from 
the experienced?

Thanks in advance for all comments and suggestions.
