You should be able to adjust the cables either behind the FNR, at the differential, or both if that bothers you. (Not familiar with that EZGo).

I just got doen with a swap. The new belt was going to be longer and the old belt useless therefore....

Cut the old belt in one section. This will give you a "measuring tape".

Install the new engine and wrap the old belt around both pulleys and measure the distance between the ends of the old belt. Add this to the old belt length and you got it.

Make sure you leave enough slack to allow for the belt to be stopped when you apply the brake for shifting.
