you don't have to, but it is always better to do that, plus when you change the water pump, the mechanic will flush the coolant as well. Do the whole package on that Honda civic 96 which is , water pump, timing belt, cam shaft seal, and some other seals ( can't remember the names ). the whole job could be done for 400 bucks. Its worth it though.

I have a 1997 Honda Civic and I have priced out the Timing Belt/Cam Seals/Water Pump to be around $500-$600. It is always a good idea to change the water pump as well since the mechanic is in there anyways. Its great preventative maintenance and the water pump and timing belt usually have the same life-span.
