Don't be too surprised if you need to add 1/2 - 3/4 gallon of antifreeze after the fact too. Depending on your dealership/technician, they may not top off the overfill tank. From what I understand, FCA expects the tech.'s to re-use the coolant that spills out when the old pump is removed.
My dealer replaced my water pump on 3/19. When I picked it up I asked the service adviser if the coolant was only drained enough for replacement or complete drain and refill. He told me they always do a complete drain, including warming up to let the Thermostat open so that all coolant drains out, then a complete refill of fresh MOPAR grape juice. Also, the overflow tank is full right up to the correct line.
