So I'm arranging Watching the Detectives for my school's male acappella group that I'm in, and I'm realizing that it's much different (and maybe harder) than writing a song. Anyone have any tips?

arranging like writing the vocal parts for the group ?
80% of that song is a single vocal track

Yeah, writing the vocal parts.
Well, the solo is the main part, but I gotta write the backing 4 parts. The verse is easy and I finished it, but the chorus is sort of difficult and i havent figured out what to do there.

Im nit just taking the instruments and making them into vocal lines, im creating new lines for vocals. Ill get it, I was just wondering about any tips that people have. I'm taking music theory in the apring semester so thatll probably help for other arrangements that I might write.
