I think you are confusing the BS belt with the timing belt. THE TIMING BELT IS THE CRITICAL ONE! But on an 87, there should be a spring-tensioner for it. There IS a certain procedure that you should follow for setting it though. But no special tools are required. If the timing belt breaks or comes off while the engine is running, major damage can be assured. But that isn't the case with the BS belt. It will vibrate like crazy though, due to being out of balance.
