I assume its the 2.4l model.I would give myself 2 full days to do this as the water pump is driven off the timing chain and you have to remove a lot of components to do it.Also watch the timing is put back correctly.The timing chain tensioner must be checked ok.I think the engine was designed on computer and someone forgot the water pump!
AnswerIf the engine is the 3.1L V-6, the water pump is driven by the serpentine belt. Replacement is easy if you get the free serpentine belt tool from your autoparts store. This tool allows you to relax the tensioner to get the belt off safely and easily.HOWEVER--if the water pump froze up and the serpentine belt BROKE, then you have to replace the belt and the tensioner. (The tensioner pulley will have been chewed up when the belt was agonizing over the frozen up water pump.) Replacing the belt is a task and a half. See other inquiries about this. Allow two days if a novice, a full day if you have done it before.

Yes. Not for long. The water pump, and alternator are driven off of the serpentine belt. If you remove it, your car will prolly die from lack of electrical power before it overheats. If you are removing it because of something not there, I.e. A/C Compressor you can buy a shorter belt for the non-A/C model, or you can get a "dummy" idler pulley to replace it.
