If it hasn't been done or you're not sure, then do it. I'd consider replacing the water pump etc as a matter of routine maintenance while you have the front of the engine stripped.

They are non interference engine so wont do any damage if the belt breaks.
The perfection of a Car's beauty is that nothing should be there for beauty's sake.
