YEP IF DRIVE BELT RUN THROUGH TOP MOTOR MOUNT YOU HAVE TO RAISE SUPPORT THE ENGINE WEIGHT REMOVE THE TOP MOTOR MOUNT.THEN REMOVE DRIVE BELT.
Jeffriesa97, You fail to mention what size your engine is here but I will take you through the procedure. If your belt goes over and under the motor mount then yes you will have to remove it first. The motor will have to be supported first. Place a piece of wood on a floor jack and place it under the oil pan. Raise the jack until you see the engine come up a little. Remove the engine mount. I believe they are 15MM bolts holding it in. You may have other things attached to the mount. Remove these and set aside. Check your belt tensioner to see if it returns to it's original position before you put the new one in. If it sticks then either lubricate it or replace it. Reverse the procedure for replacement. Good luck with this.

You need to remove the mount, no other way to get the belt on, Labor time is over 1 hour for someone that has done them before.

on some of the 3.8 you do have to remove the motor mount,there is no way around it. It is not as bad as it sounds.
SOURCE: replacing serpentine accessory belt. Is it
From my understanding I think you have to remove the motor mount and mount the engine to remove it because I have been asking different mechanics about the serpintine belt on my 1998 Buick Lasabre.
