Easiest way would be to go buy a $12 Chilton/Haynes manual. They would give you a better idea. Plus, it would save you 3 weeks of looking on-line, finding things, and then finding out the person who wrote it was a moron. LOL

In general though. Your crankshaft sensor will be located on the front of the engine, very near the crankshaft. There's a good chance the harmonic balancer, mounted on the end of the crankshaft, will obscure the view and make it difficult to find.

The camshaft sensor will be located on the front of the engine very near the camshaft, which is located 12 inches or so above the crankshaft, probably near the water pump. There won't be a pully on the camshaft, it is turned by the crankshaft via the timing chain, which is covered by the timing chain cover. But you'll be able to find it, as it should look very similar to the crankshaft sensor.
