Not sure about the A/C with the timing belt but make sure you go by the newest recommendations on gapping the plugs. Use .040in gap. Also use dielectric grease on the wires for waterproofing and good connections and Anti-seize on the threads of the plugs.
It's also recommended that you change the belt tensioner, water pump, serpentine belt and alternator belt while doing the timing belt as all those parts have been running the same amount of time as the timing belt and it's a lot easier to replace them while doing the timing belt.
