Can a novice replace the water pump on a 95 Astro and should you replace the timing belt or chain while in there and is that easy to do?

[Edit]

Answer

Depending on how novice you can go after the waterpump, if you have other transportation. The Astro has a timing chain, and I wouldn't replace it as a maintenance item, you'll be getting over your head if your not careful.
