I replaced mine on the same car. I borrowed the NAPA timing belt book to get the timing marks. There are three that need to be aligned. I would suggest going to NAPA to buy the belt ($25) and while there, ask to see that book so you can write down the timing marks. The mark on the crank shaft gear is on the inside of the gear, while the cam gear is on the outside of the gear. Or, you could just buy the book. It's still a lot cheaper than paying someone to replace the belt.

Not sure if it is possible to have it run smoothly by being off a tooth.
The hash marks on the cam pulleys line up with the timing belt cover that goes over those pulleys. Should be two notches in the cover.
As for the lower marks...those aren't really visible till the lower aux. belt pulley is removed. Then you'll have a clear view of the line up marks. One on the inside and one on the outter area of the pulley itself.
When you put the t-belt on...it is a good idea to replace the tensioner as well.
Also when you have the new belt on...adjust the tensioner so that the handle looking thing is centered between the two notches that hold the tensioner in place to the block.
After putting all that together, its a good idea to rotate the timing belt two to four rotations till the marks all line up again. That will let you know if you are hitting the valves or not.

Rotate the engine so that No. 1 cylinder is at TDC on the
compression stroke. Check that the timing marks are aligned on the
camshaft and crankshaft pulleys. An access plug is provided in the cam
belt cover so that the camshaft timing can be checked without removal
of the cover or any other parts. Set the crankshaft to TDC by aligning
the timing mark on the crank pulley with the TDC mark on the belt
cover. Look through the access hole in the belt cover to make sure that
the timing mark on the cam drive sprocket is lined up with the pointer
on the inner belt cover.
To install:
The spring cannot be used to set belt tension; a wrench must be used on the tensioner assembly.

Timing cover itself can b obtained at a salvage yard or dealer. If i were u, id time the engine from scratch to make certain all calves are where they belong. If you havent started, take white out and apply it to a grease-free surface before replacing the belt. I ruined an engine (possibly) by not taking up the slack from the new belt - or perhaps it was a bad tensioner?? Good luck.
