I don't know this for sure, but I think you risk exposing the oil system if there is no pump attached to the back of the accessory drive. I am pretty sure engine oil lubricates the shaft up to the first shaft seal inside the pump.

A block off plate, similar to what is used when the mech. fuel pump is removed in favor of electric, may fix that problem. You'd have to fabricate something I think..not sure a 'water pump delete plate' exists.
