But that makes no sense Ninja. How could there be metal in front of the crank pulley? Also the tensioner...isn't it just below your intake sprocket???

As for the Black piece aka right hand engine mount, it shouldn't be a problem to just leave it unsupported. Some may recommend against it, but it didn't bother my engine when I replaced my mounts like that and when I did my Timing Belt. You could always, albeit temporarily, put the emergency jack with a block of wood to support it.
