IIRC you will need:
timing belt
water pump (it adjusts the timing belt)
idler bearing
seals (if you are replacing them)
V-Belts (if they need replacing)
coolant

Thanks Dave

Should I replace the water pump and idler bearing routinely, but seals
only if necessary? My front main seal leaks; this is probably the time
to replace that, I bet.

Yes, I've dealt with those fine folks. I think I remember they have
"kits" for timing belts and main seals...

Just quick found their website and it looks like they have something
that does include tool rental. Cool! Thanks. I'll explicitly ask whether
this is an interference motor. I didn't hear any clatter when it shut
down.

Well if your seal(s) are leaking then of course change them. Water pump is
a good idea since you are right there and might have to move it to adjust
the tension on the belt. About the same amount of labor that you will be
doing just buy a new water pump. Probably if you don't then it will go bad
in 3 months and you have to do almost all of this work again. 8^)
