The timing belt for a V6, L series Saturn is behind the the serpentine belt, under the dust cover. To get to it you will need to remove the cover, as well as several components that will limit access to that area.
It is recommended that you replace the water pump when you replace the timing belt. When/if the water pump leaks on the timing belt, it can cause early failure of the belt, which will result in destruction of the engine.
Camshaft timing is critical when replacing the timing belt and requires the use of a set of specialized tools that lock the camshafts (4) and the crankshaft while you are removing the old timing belt and installing the new one.
Since the tool is expensive and somewhat obscure, and since valve timing is so critical, it is recommended that you have an experienced service technician replace the timing belt.
