you don't not need to remove the plugs or worry about aligning with TDC if you are mark and matching. I would suggest marking multiple teeth on the cam gear as well as the crank gear with different colors so you know exactly what goes where. Line up the crank teeth first, then move up to the cam gear. You can use a wrench to spin the cam gear slightly to align with the markings on the new belt.
