I need to change my water pump. It has been leaking antifreez. What all do i need to buy besides the water pump and timing belt?

naturally the gasket, also the timing belt tensioner and the belts (a/c, PS.etc) since you have them off anyway.

Depending on your experience working on engines, I would suggest getting a repair manual so that you can get a step-by-step article on how to do it. Also, in the future you will have documented assistance. HTH! :)

It's not that hard, just takes some time b/c you have to dig the engine half way out. As suggested, you should change the belts and get a valve cover gasket. Whatever you do, don't let it run hot b/c you'll end up warping your head gasket.
If you don't want to do it yourself, I know a guy who can do it pretty cheap.
