SOURCE: replacing water pump on a dogge Caravan 1996
Alright, here's a pic of the mechanicals:
The bad news is on your vechile you have to remove the timing belt, but here's a step by step.
CAUTION
When draining coolant, keep in mind that cats and dogs are attracted by ethylene glycol antifreeze, and are quite likely to drink any that is left in an uncovered container or in puddles on the ground. This will prove fatal in sufficient quantity. Always drain the coolant into a sealable container. Coolant should be reused unless it is contaminated or several years old.
To remove timing:
The timing belt can be inspected by removing the upper (front outer) timing cover.
To install:
Hope this helps.

Make sure it's cool, pop the radiator cap, Remove the shield on the passenger side between the tire and front of engine. Relieve the tension on the serp belt,draw yourself a diagram of the pulleys and belt routing in case the sticker is gone on the strut tower, remove the serp belt. Take the bolts out of the pulley on the front of the water pump (3). Remove the lower radiator hose at the front cover to drain the coolant.
