It all depends on your level of experience. I've done all of these except e-brake cable and tie rod ends. The tie rod ends require an alignment, so I've never wanted to tackle that at home. The heater core (and blower motor at the same time, of course) is a hard job, just because everything's in there very tightly. The radiator is just a bolt on part - very easy. By drive belt, do you mean serpentine belt? It's fine if you do it right. I replaced one in an hour once, along with a failed pulley. Make sure you have a manual or at least write-ups of the procedures. I like the Haynes manual, although others don't.
