Front engine seals is about an 11 hour job. You will have to remove the timing and balance shaft belt, and if the waterpump hasn't been done recently, you might as well do that while you are in there.

I don't know that I would trust a timing belt or balance shaft belt from autozone. Not something you want to cheap out on. I would get it all online at vendors such as paragon-products.com Talk to Chuck or Jason, they will know exactly what you need to do the job.
