Well, it takes me about and hour and a half from start to finish. But ive done 4 or 5 of em. If you havent done one before TAKE YOUR TIME and make sure you do it right!

if the tensioner is off the car you simply put it in a vice and press it back down and stick a small alan wrench or pin in the hole and it holds the tensioner down. then you can bolt it back on, put your belt and everything back on, get your cams and crank all lined up then just pull the pin and your good to go.
