What is your question?
I'm trying to replace my water pump and timing belt. I have a 1996 Acura Integra LS with the Non-VTEC engine. I have to remove the driver's side lower motor mount to remove the timing belt. I don't have a car jack that I can use to put under the engine. Is it safe to remove that motor mount? I've read that the front and rear motor mounts are what hold the weight of the engine on most cars but I want to make sure my engine isn't going to fall down if I remove the driver's side lower motor mount.

Reviewing the workshop manual instructions, there is no suggestion to support the engine when removing the motor mount. They call this the side motor mount by the way. My impression is that since you are not under any kind of load, you are OK to remove it for the purpose of timing belt replacement.
