Do not "yank the lines" but rather remove the fittings carefully so you do not break them off making that removal more difficult.
Actually the cause of the
Air Locked Water Pump is not related but a Coolant Refill Proceedure that has worked every time for me for the
Air Locked Water Pump has been defined. This applies if in fact you drained ALL your coolant at a level BELOW the Water Pump (
TB Coolant Bypass blocked or not).
See (Filling With Coolant and the Air Locked Water Pump) for Detailed New Coolant Filling Trick.
You do not have to wait over night Hoping you heated the water pump area up enough to draw coolant into the area of the water pump impeller by running without coolant flow the night before. I used this proceedure to make sure I did not have an Air Locked Water Pump which has nothing to do with TB Coolant Blocked since this proceedure was used before I ever blocked my TB Coolant 
Marc has installed the
TB Heat Bypass Line as a precaution for those he is not sure about their "do it yourself" skills in dealing with coolant issues.
But you have to confer with
Marc on the need for the TB Heat Bypass
