From the 700/900 FAQ:

"Turn the engine to #1 TDC (timing marks in line on crank pulley to pointer on timing belt cover), then install the flywheel so that the two rivet-like pins that are on flywheel inboard of ring gear about 1+ inch are on the exhaust side of block roughly at 2 o'clock and 3:30 while the engine is at TDC."

I'd take out the starter and check for the hole void, as that is easier than dropping the transmision (but you might have to anyway).
