it isnt bad, but all you NEED to do a timing belt is the timing belt, water pump, and tensioner pulley.
you could get just the needed pieces for $75 or less from autozone

when you replace the timing belt, there is no need to change the valve cover gasket or spark plug tube seals unless they leak and the hydraulic tensioner hardly ever go bad...

another problem, you said your car is a sohc...the list and pic are for a dohc

 

I got my parts from www.rockauto.com. Good quality parts.
