water pump for when there is an obvious problem. Some water pumps last 80,000, although that is rare.
Check the alternator body while the car is running - if it is visibly vibrating, you need to change the bushings. I am writing up my experience with that - should have it done this weekend.
AC idler pulley should be checked with the belt loose or off - when you turn it by hand it should be smooth and easy to turn (with motor off, of course). If not, repair seems to be difficult - I couldn't speak to that one - I think it is riveted on.
It is a good idea to change all belts at once - that way you have a matched set. They really aren't that expensive. Recommended seem to be Continental or Gates (Monster got these from Pep Boys).
Good luck - it is a nasty area of the car to work on!
