I would find a service manual, and follow the recommendation for lining up the timing marks. Based on an Integra & Toyota I've done, the cams can easily move, even if the crankshaft hasn't moved. Once you remove the belt, valve spring pressure can turn the cam. Even following proceedure, lining up the marks, I've had to re-adjust the belt because I didn't tension enough slack out of the belt. You can check this by turning the engine over a few revolutions with a wrench on the crank pulley bolt, and rechecking your marks.

Don't rush the job for a deadline, better to get it right!
