$472 on my '97 SE. That includes replacement of the water pump. Good, bad?

i'd have to say that's about right. the timing belt is a complete pain in the ass to change.

I hope they are going to change the seals and throw a tune-up in there. so $472 consists of all the belts and the water pump?

yeah. It's been done for awhile now. It's good peace of mind. And I'm willing to pay the extra money to a good shop.
