3rd gen 3sge timming belt, timming belt interchanginbilities? Options

[99gt3sge]

im almost ready to drop in my 3rd gen 3sge in my 99 gt, but im debating whether to change the timming belt and tensioneer, but from what my importer/friend told me is that,, from what he remembers is that the 3rd gen ge timming belt is diff from the 1st gen ge and diff from 2nd gen gte. i had found a belt from austrailia, but i was wondering if anyone has tried using the components from a 2nd gen3sgte and swaped them over to the 3rdgen 3sge? seein since im from so cal 3rd gen 3sge is a little hard to come bye. if worse comes to worse ill drop it in like that and figure it out later

Both of the Gen 3 engines (3S-GTE and 3S-GE) use the same timing belt (13568-79105) the Gen 2 is different part number.

not from the states sorry, but from what I hear from guys on here:

WWW.PARTZNET.COM www.lithiatoyotaparts.com or kbox.ca

i checked rusty, but i could find the tensioneer parts, or numbers, might you have those? my friend who works for toyota found the timmingbelt with that part number but he is hving trouble finding the tensioneer, or part number.
