diagram needed on the mn12 platform

ive done a serch for some mn12 info and came up with nothing so maybe im hoping someone here has a awnser to my question. I am currently replacing a water pump on my 1990 cougar xr7 3.8SC and it looked like i had to pull the whole alt bracket but i removed the bolts and it still is in place. Im wondering if any one has a manual on how to do the waterpump replacement on one of these engines.  Im new to the SC motors so any help would be appreciated Thanks guys!

I can't help much with the SC engine WP replacement, but here's a site that can.  They referred me here because I have a Fox body.

Lotsa MN12 experience there, and they do seem to love their SC engines.

My 93 was a 3.8 but not SC. I had to buy (you can rent them I think) a tool to pull the power steering pump pulley to get the water pump out. There's another tool to put the pulley back on...
