The belt is easy to change. Search for how to on here. I don't remember the link. Replace it if it's badly cracked or frayed.

PS and coolant can be changed easily. Again, search.

You can probably change the exhaust manifold yourself. I've never done it though.

What needs to be replaced on the rear suspension? Sounds very vague. Could be struts, springs, sway bar, etc. All can be done at home.

Sounds like you have a door lock switch gone bad. Should be easy to replace.

Where is the wind noise coming from? Doors, windows, vent? Check weatherstripping.

Heating not working good can be the coolant being bad. Before you replace the coolant flush it out well. Core could be full of junk. Or maybe it could be related to the noise problem and the flap isn't flapping to the heat position. I've never worked on something like that though.

If you're handy with tools you should be able to do a lot yourself and save yourself a good bit of money.

there's no such thing as a 98 DX. The 8th gen only had VE, CE, S and LE models to choose from.
