Just done this. It was a touch awkward.
The hose on the pump is only a very short length of rubber, before it hits a plastic bit.
That plastic bit is movable, and I could push the plastic fitting to the left as I wrestled the short rubber hose away. But the isn't much room.
If you were really stuck, you could take the hoses off the back of the plastic fitting, to let it move out of the way.
When you take the bolts out, notice that three of them are longer than the others, and need a blob of something sticky when it all goes back together..... I forgot..... I also didn't RTv the gasket, and it's been fine.

I didnt, and wouldn't use any sticky stuff on the gasket. Its quite a thick gasket, and there are plenty of bolts to push in it. When i was installing mine its a bit of a tricky manoever to get the pump into place, and i remember thinking if i had used RTV it would be simply smeared all over the place.
I forgot to use sticky stuff on the three bolts, so im not the right person to ask! Knock on wood its been fine so far.

I followed what the guy on Atlantic British does. Hi-tack on the gasket stick to case (not water pump then bolt in a criss crossing bolting. I put a thin coat of Red Indian on the longer bolts. Letting it sit over night before I start it. Here's a great video to check out How To Replace Water Pump On Discovery 2
