Default Timing belt Mistake - cams 180 degrees off

Replacing belt on a 94 LS400.

I am at the point of putting the belt on.

Problem is: I pulled the TB of with my cam gears 180 degrees off. Can I just rotate the Cam gears 180 degrees, or do I need to rotate the Crank 180 also?
I am guessing I do need to rotate all, but I want to be sure.. thanks

****, I feel like an ***.

Just make sure crank gear and cam gears align with the marks. You can rotate them separately on 90-94 model, it is a non-interference engine.
