Timing belt tips

Hey yall, so I'm changing the valve lifters on my old '88 Mazda b2200, and this is the first time I've ever messed with my timing belt. Admittedly, it's not a bit of the motor that I know a ton about, other than it's basic function. If anyone has any bits of wisdom to drop on considerations in removing reinstalling it, things to consider, etc., all the info I can sponge up would be very appreciated.

Additional context: I've marked the exact position of the belt on the camshaft pully before taking it off, and because I only need to remove the one I've left the belt on all the other pulleys lower on the circuit. Im planning to re-install the pulley in the exact position it was in when I took it off (TDC) and replace the belt the same way, but I can't find anything in the ol' Haynes Bible about the proper tension the belt should have. My FE engine is non-enterference, which, to my knowledge, means that a timing belt discrepancy shouldn't be catastrophic? but what should I expect from a bad re-installation?

Cheers, friends!
