Best Answer

The coolant level (in the radiator)needs to be BELOW the bottom of the water pump in order to remove the pump without losing the antifreeze. Since the water pump is almost at the bottom of the rad, you may as well drain it all since it only takes a few minutes to do, and you won't risk losing it all.
