If the water pump is gone, I would not drive it and I agree that you might as well do the front mount while you are in there. It it is the original, it is probably way past due to be replaced.
BTW, make sure you get an OEM water pump. The aftermarket ones don't seem to hold up very well.

Good point.
So far, I have used OEM for all replacements.
They are more expensive, but hopefully better.
