If I can chime in.. I'm about to change my water pump and belt sometime this spring.. as my water pump has started to whirr and hum.. I replaced my belt (only) 10 years ago and then the water pump 9 years ago without replacing the rollers, etc.
I'm going to do the pump and belt, rollers, guides, etc. the whole shebang when I do the pump this spring.
10 years, even with being a daily driver between timing belt changes. Granted I've been a slacker.. but I haven't beaten it either and have kept down the miles.
And of course it's a 79' so there's no paranoia about a belt failing or skipping.
I say check it out, enjoy it and if the water pump leaks in a couple of months or the belt fails while driving... do the entire service at that time. Just this peanuts opinion in the gallery.
