The water pump and downstream oxygen sensor yes. The catalytic converter, no. I'd let them replace the water pump and see if the check engine light and trouble codes go away on their own after driving it for a bit. When I'd let my 93 Caprice sit for several months it would sometimes throw an oxygen sensor trouble code that would go away on its own after I drove it for a few days. Hope that helps! Jim
