Timing Belt Top Dead Center Question on 3.4L

I've got a question and I hope someone out there has an answer. Well usually there are a few of you. So I'm replacing my timing belt and all that good stuff and I came across a question regarding the top dead center notch and my cam top dead center marking. I've attached two photos of my right and left cam pulley. The cam markings seem to be in the same location by using the notch in the metal above the pulley's. So my question is if I line the cam marks with the notch mark then remove my timing belt and then I re-assemble everything with the marks all lining up will I have to worry about my timing being off?
