Doing water pump... do chain & tensioner while at it?

So I was replacing a fog light bulb earlier today, and looked up to see the water pump leaking a bit. Already have one coming, but I got to thinking that I should go ahead and do the timing chain and tensioner while I'm in there. My '96 has just a tick over 105,000 miles on it, and I don't know the service history prior to buying it five years ago. Would you?

You won't be going "in there" very far when replacing the water pump so the timing chain is scarcely a related job.
Chains seldom fail on these cars anyway. The little hydraulic tensioner thingy has been known to give problems, though. It's externally replaceable but not related to a water pump job.
