First off, you do not have to remove the engine from any vehicle I know of to replace a timing belt. Secondly, your vehicle has a chain, and not a belt.

How hard is it to replace a timing chain on a 1999 Pontiac sunfire?

very hard! I just finished retapping the cam housing bolt holes in my 2000 sunfire. but had to remove the timing chain to get the cam cover and housing off. to get the timing chain off, you have to remove the motor mount bracket off first, then remove the timing cover before getting to the chain. no room to get the bracket bolts off without some assistance to pry the engine to the opposite side.

If the motor is the 2.4L it will be on the back side of the motor,right below the exhaust manifold. It's a job to do. If its a 2.4 the water pump is in the rear of the motor.You must remove the exhaust manifold to access the water pump.Then you must remove the timing chain cover.When you remove the timing chain cover you must remove the timing chain tensioner.Its quite a big job.

More: Unless the 98 is much different from my 96, the water pump has nothing to do with the timing belt.
