Neg-A-Tive! If you have the Yorx compressor simply (Yeah right, "simply"
I say..) remove the compressor by its big bracket and then remove the
whole water pump housing. Then you can R&R the pump with the housing off
of the car. It makes getting at thise little 10mm bolts alot better. 
Theres nothing wrong with removing the timing belt but I prefer removing
the compressor. Oh, before somebody reads too far into this, dont
disconnect the lines from the A/C compressor, just unbolt it and lay it
over out of the way on top of the core support. If this is your first
time doing it, it will probably seem hard. Its not, really, its just a
little time consuming. 
HTH!  (or not.)
