Dealership recommendations

Hello. First a big thanks for all the money these forums have saved me. I never had anyone teach me anything about cars growing up so I'm still learning to take care of them

So I just took my 2002 EX into the dealership for the airbag recall and of course they gave me a ginormous list of things that need to be done. I'm at about 115k miles on it. Some of the stuff sounds more serious than others, some of it I'm not even going to bother listing because i know it will be easy for me to do.

So basically, of the following things can anyone tell me how realistic it is that I might be able to take care of it myself with meager car experience. Any DIY resources would also be great. Obviously I've looked on the DIY forums but a lot of the posts have dead image links which makes it hard to figure out.

Timing belt package w/ drivebelts, waterpump, coolant $574.95
Compliance bushings seperated $434.95 w/ 4 wheel alignment
Front motor mount broken $175.87
Power steering fluid exchange $93.95
Coolant fluid exchange (part of timing belt) $98.95
Transmission fluid exchange $149.95
Valve adjustment $119.50

Thanks peeps. I don't have anywhere near enough money to cover all this even getting in done somewhere cheaper than the dealership so know what's most important and what I might be able to do myself would be helpful. Thanks!!
