Anyways, OP, not sure why it became some shizz storm there...guess Scotty is on a bender to increase post count it seems?
Anyways, the updated deflector will for sure fix the problem, but may not save the blower motor. I do strongly suggest the WD40 trick for that. Gonna bow out of this thread, or it seems the shizz storm will continue. Good luck with the water pump fix. It is quite easy...just take the small extra cost to do the coolant elbows also, get the metal Dorman ones. If the pump is gone, those are gonna go next.
