Make sure you have good book (Shop Manual or at least Chilton's, stay away from Hayness crap)
Back when I did mine, the new belt - compliments of Lordco - had its marks painted backwards. I was lucky I didn't bend my valves or something. Make sure you count the teeth and all that.
Other than that it's all easy, just a regular PITA.
