Have you got the other bolts out of the waterpump housing yet?
Depends on which bolts have snapped, if theyre right next to each other then it probably wont seal correctly, But if youve got a bolt inbetween the two that have snapped then its worth a go.
These bolts can get really bad corrosion around them due to the ally/water plenty of WD40 is the trick. Or if you can get hold of a blowtorch warm the area the bolts screw into.
