There isn't that much to choose from on these old engines.
This is one of those times that a mechanic's stethoscope would come in real handy.

You can pinpoint noises much quicker with one. Maybe a length of small diameter hose would work in a pinch.

Good luck

ps- don't run the engine too long without a belt, or you will have a major problem.
