Whew!

Leave the rocker arms alone.

Find a copy of the FSM on the Internet (can you guess where there is a copy of the '88 FSM in pdf format in three parts? See my signature.)  The complete process is described on page 3-50 and 3-51.

DO NOT remove the crankshaft pulleys by removing the big bolt on the end of the crankshaft!   You are asking for a world of problems if you do.  There are 4 smaller (5 for a TracKick) bolts that attach the accessory belt pulley to the  crankshaft  timing belt pulley.  Remove these bolts to get the timing belt cover off.

Do not disturb the position of the camshaft or the crankshaft unless the timing belt broke.  If that is the case, align the two pulleys per the FSM pictures and instructions turning them CLOCKWISE as necessary and install the belt as instructed. Once this is done, the rotor on the distributor should point at the #4 piston's spark plug wire.

Must get sleep now...

You don't need to remove the rocker arms but the FSM does state that the valve lash should be opened out. This prevents the action of the valve springs from putting any tension on the cambelt that could affect the adjustment of the cam belt tensioner.
