'95 Del Sol Timing Belt

So, I'm doing my first ever head job on my 95 Del Sol, and I've run into a bit of an issue. I've got the head back on with the new HG, but I've now realized that getting the timing belt back on is going to be a problem. It's super tight and the tensioner is a b**** to get to. Are there any tricks for getting it back on without digging down to the tensioner or am I just going to have to suffer?

You shortcut it to take it apart. Now you can do the work that should have been done in the first place?

Isn't there an access hole (plug) in the lower cover so you can put a socket on the tensioner bolt?
