It's sounding more and more like this could be the culprit... Impeller has probably disintegrated or is just spinning on the shaft.

Be extremely careful trying to remove the pump- they are often a major PITA to get out of there, especially if is has been frozen in there for 15+ years.

This thread may be helpful to you. I would advise against using any sort of prybar to get the pump out if it is frozen in there, especially if you are using the aluminum timing cover as leverage...
