Don't worry about the pulleys' position, they can only be put on one way. The cam pulley has a hole that aligns with a pin on the camshaft, and the crank pulley is keyed to the crankshaft. There are pretty clear instructions in the FAQ section under the "Sitemap of descriptive detail files" look at the page for "headgasket replacement" and look toward the bottom of the page.
If I remember correctly, the mark on the actual crank pulley, not the ignition timing marks, should point to a mark on the block or the back of the lower timing belt cover, and that IS at about the 10 or 11 o'clock position.
Since the pulleys will only go on the shafts in the proper orientation, what is important is having the shafts turned to the proper orientation, and that is pretty easy to do. You are panicking over minor details, relax. It is very tense and stressful the first time you do this, but if you take care and do it right, you will be very happy that you did it in the end, and will be more confident in the future.
