Yes, the left cylinder, but no need to worry about which part of the cycle.
The timing marks come around on every crank rotation so it is always correct.
You probably won't have to pull anything off. Mostly the outer pulley and
spacing washers just fall off. Harder to keep them all aligned when
re-installing.
DO NOT set this belt tight! You are not driving an air compressor. Just
snug is fine. Overtightening is the major cause of fractured generator
mounting yokes.
