Waterpump housing to engine

Ok, first off, I have searched and didn't really find what I wanted. Here's the story... I found out that one or more of my OMP lines were melted to the engine. I took it in to GT Garage and they replaced the OMP lines and a few other things. I get home and see that one of the OMP lines was rubbing on a belt, so I took it back and they replaced it. A couple months later or so the waterpump housing to engine gasket blew at the upper right side. I think I'm going to have to do the job myself since Gt Garage isn't really replying to my emails and calls. The only thing I have heard back (in an email) is that they could get to it monday or tuesday (this was on friday) still no calls or emails back responding to me asking what is the address to tow the car to? He had to move to his house because the rent got jacked way up at their shop.

Anyway, when I pull the waterpump housing off, are the OMP lines in the way? I really do not want to mess with them. This will be the like 5th time I've pulled off the waterpump on this car, never pulled the housing off before.

THIS IS ON A 89 RX-7 NA

yes they are in the way of the housing!!! you will need to very carfully loosen the bolts that hold the lines to the OMP and then carfully move them around the housing!!!

or unbolt the OMP,

try to hold the end of the line in place while u try to break each bolt loose , as i didn't and one of the lines tried to spin with the bolt and snaped X_x

ohh i just realized this is for an s5.... mine was on a s4...... so im not 100% if its same for s5,
