In changing the drive belt there is a bolt with a spacer I'll have to remove. Do I need to support the engine in any way when doing this?

Hi,
I'm not sure what spacer you are referring to. However, I don't believe a motor mount needs to be removed, so you shouldn't have to support the engine.
If you look at the attached pic, move the tensioner in the directions indicated to release pressure from the belt. Then you can remove it.
Here is a link that explains in general how it's done. You can use it as a guide.

Take care and God Bless,
