Should be no different than any other one. Is there something you need to know? I've done them on many things. (GM, Ford, Jeep, Chrysler)

Just make sure you don't tear the gasket, and don't over torque the new water pump.
Use RTV or the gasket, not both.
I like the Edelbrock Gask-a-cinch, or Permatex Spray-Tak red gasket adhesive to stick my gasket on.
Stick the gasket to the pump, not the block (or timing cover in this case).
Might as well replace the thermo since you're in it that far.
Also, it's easier to loosen the bolts from the fan before you take the belt off... Oh, and SBChrys ave this goofy 1" bypass hose going from the water pump to the thermo housing, don't forget to get a new one of those too, just in case it's difficult to remove. You can always return it if you don't use it...

I always hated those on SBChrys., the BBChrys had an awesome set up, wish more used that style. Come to think of it, I hate doing water pumps, doesn't matter what it's on...

If you've done one on a minivan this one will be a walk in the park. Minivans there's no room to work or anything like that...

Amen to that. FWD sucks for that. The Astro/Safari were the only ones that were semi-decent, but they still suck to do. Did I mention I hate doing water pumps and that I think they suck to do?

Well, I think they suck to do.
