are the valve springs stock?
more than likely a belt tension check and a few rotations to check the belt for any damage and you could put that belt into service.
\Heat and overtensioning while hot are the belt killers.
I do PPIs for MJ who asked.
autos usually get a flex plate check included

Any trained wrench that cant follow documentation shouldn't have the job in the first place.
My daughter isn't "trained" for most of the jobs she does at work..yet is somehow competent and comfortable simply understanding the documentation and doing the job right.
Im not saying anyone should 'insist' on someone doing work they dont want to, but it suggests a shop-wide level of lack of attention to who and how they hire, and train. Porsche has an aggressive training program for classics.

Does Porsche offer training on the 928 through their Classic program? It's tough to find someone that was factory trained...is it worth the additional $ to take that training? My answer is no, unless I have a known 928 clientele that I'll make money on...it would be a financial decision...that training won't come cheap.

Lots of particular things with these cars. If they remove valve covers, will they remove distributor caps first? It doesn’t look like you have to, and it could be a short cut , but you should or else contacts in the cap are damaged.
my rule is not everyone’s rule. I work only with known (human) quantities with these cars.

I have a few cars to clear before I can extend you a slot.
BUT the belt you have will probably be OK to use
