This writeup is specific to a 6 bolt engine in a 2g car.
First and foremost, please read and understand these articles and FAQ's BEFORE you read mine. This is to enforce the understanding of how to do a timing belt, and mine is to guide you to how to do it visually.

Good ol' VFAQ:

1. The difference between a 1g and a 2g tensioner arm. Notice the top (2g) arm assembly has a longer arm. This is not recommended to be used with a 6 bolt front case because it will cause a slight overlap. In a 6 bolt bottom end, used with a 2g, you must use the 2g motor mount bracket, 1g tensioner arm, 1g tensioner pulley, and 1g autotensioner. When putting the tensioner pulley on, make sure that the 2 holes are facing OUT, not in.
***DO NOT REMOVE THE GRENADE PIN FROM THE AUTOTENSIONER***
Overlap seen here:

2. Once you have your tensioner/pulley situated, move on to the actual motor mount itself. The 1G water pump WILL NOT clear the 2g mount. You need to take a die grinder, sawzall, metal cutter wheel, etc to this mount and chop of a piece of it in order to have it bolt onto the engine. One simple cut will do the trick. You can see the cut I made on the top bolt of the water pump.
