If your water pump is original, seriously consider changing it while you're in there doing the belt. As you'll read on this forum pumps are known to fail around 70-75k miles.
I'm not especially mechanically inclined, but was able to do both the pump and belt and change the coolant without too much trouble. The pump and belt cost me a total of $240. Porsche coolant from the local stealership was $70. Paying a shop would have been close to 3x the cost.
