I complained enough when I did the serpentine belt, tensioner, and idler pulley! I don't know how much more of a PITA it will be (eventually) to do the water pump.
You will want to disconnect the front engine brace (the "dogbone") and loosen (not remove) the lower engine mount nuts so you can tilt the engine forward / up enough to give you the clearance you'll need against the strut tower. I used a piece of 4x4 wood on a car jack. It won't hurt the oil pan since you aren't actually lifting the engine but just rotating it.
I also bought the serpentine belt tool from Summit Racing. You can use a regular 3/8ths inch breaker bar too, but the tool is thinner. In the end I don't think it was all too helpful but having it can't hurt either. It's used to release tension on the belt to remove it.
Go ahead and use a new serpentine belt when you're done, and it is very well worth it to order the Goodyear Gatorback belt for this car. Once you have it you'll see why no belt is better!
That's as far as I've ever gone in this area. Good luck with the rest, and hopefully others can chime in with more.
