I did mine yesterday with the rear wheels on ramps, no engine lowering. But the back of the car does need to be up in the air.

I didn't need to remove the thermostat hose either. The pump can come out through the bulkhead access door. I also didn't replace all my coolant, it was only a couple of years old so I just replaced the 2 gallons that drained from the pump.

There are alot of jobs that require the car to be on jack stands. Limiting yourself to jobs with the wheels on keeps you from doing alot of fairly easy jobs.
