hello guys, I have a problem with the water pump, is leaking, 1956 272 ci y block ford, I would like to know how to remove the small pipe from the heating, have to pull or unscrew? Thank you for your help
 
If you are talking about the small by-pass elbow on the water pump you unscrew it from the pump. If it is bad, new ones are available.
 
there's 2 small pipes on the water pump, the second it must unscrew too ?

See if these photos come out large enough -

The nipple attaches to the WP with two cap screws. The tube on the thermostat housing is either cast into the housing or later design has a press-in tube.

Does that help?

The tube (nipple) for the heater hose unscrews. It is usually a bent tube.

My reading comprehension is dwaining ...

The heater outlet fitting (on the intake manifold) will screw out as Paul said -

If you are describing the heater return nipple on the pump casting itself, it also screws in/out (see 2nd photo).
