And it always comes in handy to have a Servive manual, as a Haynes or Ciltons will be a bit shady on the diffrent models of the 3800 engine.... They may have a pic or diagram for a Vin C, L, 1, K or even a 3.8 Vin 3.... So its not always on the money...
If you know what you are doing the timming set and interupter can be replaced in a matter of hours..

It took me several afternoons and evenings to replace every gasket but the head gaskets last summer. The lower intake gaskets were just a fraction of the time.
An SE timing cover will come off easier than an L67, because I don't think you have to remove the accessory bracket, which can take a while.
