If you turn the crank ( 22mm pretty sure ) with the old belt still on it you can line it up with top dead center before you put on the new belt. If you already have the belt off you might try putting the old one back on. You can wrap the belt around the cam gear and use vice grips to hold it tight and turn it that way but your valves will interfere with the pistons if the cam and crank aren't turned together.
