As long as you don't have a thermostat at the top, that's right, you don't need a water pump. You can keep it, but your engine will take a LOT longer to warm up.
The radiator and fan on either of these motors (113/123) are so outsized as to be very efficient just as thermosiphon systems, as long as your radiator is clean. One thing I often mention to illustrate that is the sound they make from a distance. From the house on the farm, we rarely heard the exhaust on the BN when they were out cultivatin', apart from the occaional belch when the governor throttled things up goin' into a hard spot. But you could always hear the roar/howl of the fan. The H was the same way.
Also, once you get it running, you can do a little test with the grille still off. Drive it, run it, warm it up well, until the top of your radiator is too hot to rest your hand on. Then move your hand to the bottom of the radiator. You should find it quite comfortable to rest your hand on, almost cool to the touch. It works that well.
