Smash the f**k out the pump pully(assuming your replacing the pump) with a hammer to get it to loosen.

OR, remove the main waterpump hose from the rear of the block, put a bar through and hit the back of the pump to knock it out.

Sit a socket set extension bar on one of the center bits and smack it with a hammer. Once it starts to move it should be easy to get out.

it may help to remove the starter motor to get a swing at the drift. (only 2 extra bolts)

mine came out in about 5 pieces with a long crow bar and one big smack.
