Default 1.9L Timing belt confusion.

Okay, I have a 94 LX sedan with the 1.9L and auto. My maintenance schedule book says "replace camshaft drive belt (1.8L only)"every 60 000 miles. So what about my engine? Does its belt need replacing I have about 95 000 miles on it. I checked the Haynes manual and it says inspect and replace the timing belt every 60 000 but no "1.8L only". I'm confused. Otherwiseit runs great, the body is solid and no squeaks or rattles on the highway.

I have a 95 1.9 and have replaced my timing belt every 70.000 and coming up on my 3rd replacement time. Remember it better to replace the belt than rebuild the engine if the belt breaks. its a pretty easy job
