I'd go with your times of an hour to an hour & a half at the very most for the cam belt.

1.5 hours with the water pump (whish it is strongly recommended is done at the same time)

Yeah, easily under 1.5hrs for 4 pot, doing pump and coolant.  V6 I reckon about 30mins more due to more stripping down.  Seen a v6 down in under an hour ;)
