if you can, after draining the radiator, pull the drain plugs from the sides of the block to reduce the amount of coolant that ends up in the oil pan after pulling the timing cover/water pump. Also change the timing cover seal and if needed, put a speedi sleeve on the crank dampner if it has a groove worn in it.
