no you dont need to drop the coolant, as that seal is an oil seal, not a coolant seal
however the lines are pretty non-forgiving, so in the end you will probably find that its easier to drop the coolant (you can just disconnect the coolant line at the pump and let it all flow out), remove where both lines attach to the pump (as well as the metal hard line) and then remove the pump
