The water pumps are driven by the timing belt or chain (1st or 2nd Gen) so no reason to replace it unless you're having issues or doing the belt anyways (1st Gen).

Otherwise, yes. If the clutch is failing, it can damage the fan mount bearings and vice-versa.

Isn't it under the fan clutch tho, so all that has to be removed to replace it?

My fan clutch is stuck fully engaged all the time.
