Only the G13BB engines have cam belts. I see yours looks like a Spanish Soft-top, therefore there is a chance it has a G13BB engine in it, all other models changed to M13AA engines in 2001. Its worth a check of which engine you have first.
You have to take the front covers/belts/pulleys off the engine, so it includes removing the radiator etc. You also need to align the timing marks properly when you re-assemble.
Perhaps a touch ambitious if you have no experience.

How do I check which engine I have in my 2001 hardtop as I'm having the same thought ?
The definitive way is to look at the VIN number. JB33 is G13B, JB43 is M13A
At a quick glance the CAM belt cover on a G13BB is plastic, the CAM Chain cover on an M13A is metal.
