Isn't there a need for a gasket there? What I mean is there are the two washers on the studs to the left to keep the water pump housing level right, and not having those, or using those and not a gasket might not let the housing flange sit level with the block.

** With that said, I haven't tried it, that's just what I've heard/thought was going on. Mazdatrix mentions the housing will break without them.

Reted correct me if I'm wrong!
