Thanks

yes you need to remove the fan and protect the radiator.

I know I have to mark the timing with the belt on and such, but was wondering if there was something else to note about these engines?

there's a bunch. marking the timing belt won't help, because you are chaning it. but you do need to know how to set the timing (i.e. the camshafts and crank), etc.
normally, on these engines the following are done at the same time
*timing belt
*timing belt tensioner (it's the thing that goes the most)
*water pump (it's behind the timing belt, so now's the time to do it)
*possible timing belt pulley if indicated (probably not)
*accessory (external) belts or serpentine belt, whichever you have
depending on your prior experience you may be able to do this with help from here and/or the other forums, but i urge you to get some expert help in the factory manuals and updates available at
www.helminc.com expensive and very good.
and/or subscribe to alldata for $25 the first year; basically the factory manuals online plus some extra stuff
