Okay, I did some research on the timing belt, and I have some questions. 200 1983

The B21FT engines don't need the special Volvo tool to hold the crank. Check out the rope trick in the FAQ, works like a charm. Make sure cylinder #1 is in it's compression stroke by looking through the oil filler cap, the cam lobes should look like rabbit ears (both sticking up).

To remove the crankshaft pulley, mostly to change the v-belts, there are some nuts and bolts that hold the two halves together. When you remove them you'll probably find some shims inside the pulley and also some between the pulley, make a mental note of how many shims there are between and re-assemble the same way. This is how belt tension is adjusted for (at least) the A/C compressor.

The job is really quite easy to do, read up on the posts/FAQ here, and post any questions while performing the job.
