Nope, pretty straight forward, single overhead cam water pump tensioner and crank, I did mine a few weeks ago, would definitely change the water pump too whilst you're there as its driven off the timing belt (don't know if you know this already just thought I'd throw it out there) the water pump is a bit of an area to be honest got to remove the alternator and mounting plate to access the pipe
A timing chain may well be more durable than a belt, but it also costs more to replace – the chain itself costs double the price of a belt and it can also be more labour intensive to fit, factor in the replacement water pump and you could be looking at a bill of more than £1000.
