your concern is that the impellar blades cracked off and are wedged in the head or oil cooler. If your blades are accounted for or a bit scored but not gone, you should be fine. If water is pouring out that easily however, that likely means the bearing was cooked and you may have had quite a lot of wobble on the impeller. Won't know till you get it off.
If no issue, then install new water pump, get the ass end of the car way up in the air, open the bleeder, pour in most of the new coolant till tank is full, run car, hold revs at like 2500 until thermostat opens and then continue filling.
Drive for next few days with vent cap open, top up as needed, and you're done.
