I am about to dive under the hood to replace the waterpump and belts. Any advise, comments, or suggestions? I hope I'm done before lunch. Do I need any special tools? Thanks

 

You're in for a treat. If you have no clue or a good set of tools and a manual, I wouldn't even attempt it.

You basically have to pull some accessories (power steering I believe), valve cover, timing belt cover, timing and balance belt (which you should replace) and then you have access to the water pump. I may be forgetting some things, it was a while ago.
