Suggestion:

Get a water pump from a Forklift place for the H2) motor.  Exact same 
thing, a fraction of the cost.

OR, go to Pep boys, or any other auto parts store, and you can order 
decent aftermarket pumps for a fraction of what the vendors and dealers 
sell them for.

Wiring harness...

Go the "painless" route.  The stock wiring harnesses in these cars is 
garbage.  Too many circuits on too few fuses on too thin wires... it's a 
reciepe for problems...
