I done piccies!!!
See here:

This is the power steering pump and water pump unit. It's a feck-off heavy thing and it bolts over the missing core plug as thought.

This engine mount:

Bolts to the end of the engine betwixt the cam belt and covers the old waterpump hole, thus:

So, where does the K series hang from? If we still need the mount at that end, we'll hack the PAS pump off and cobble a water pump back on but if the engine doesn't need that mount, we need to find a water pump to fit over the water pump hole!! Job jobbed!

The manual i have shows the water pump on the 600 on the front of the block also

I stand corrected, that must be the honda engined ones.

Think i have got my head around it now.

The water pump housing is a cast ally unit that has the water pump in the enf bit, but aslo carries the power steering pump and pullys. It loks like the powersteering pump can just be unbolted.

I am right? do i win a biscuit ?

I'm not sure about the two pumps you've linked to there but you should take a look at the M series water pump. I can't just remember exactly how it all goes but they use a casting bolted to the conventional water pump hole in the end of the block, this extended to the opposite side to the T series pump (rear in your case) & the pump bolted to this casting where it was driven off the cambelt. This made for a much tidier set-up & had the engine mounting in a similar location to the T series you want to use & the K series the car currently has.
However I did take a quick look at using this M series type pump on the T series with my grasser so I could use the T series which was becoming more common in the scrappy but it was'nt a straight bolt on job as the locations for the tensioners for the M series type cambelt wer'nt there on the T series but thought it was a possibility all the same.

Looking again at the pics of those pumps you've linked to it does look like the PAS pump just unbolts, but that it's needed for the drive for the water pump as it looks like the waterpump is driven off the back of the PAS pump.
It also looks like one of the sellers is gonna get a right kick up the harris from his missus cos he's made a right mess of the carpet!

Yep, i was thinking that. Abouit the carpet that is , not the pump.

Looks like the belt does go round the pas pump pulley before it get to the water pump pulley

That pulley in the middle is the tensioner. The waterpump lives on the end of the PAS pump.

Why is the back of the engine mount full of builders sand?
