Is the 420a crank pulley a one bolt pulley? I went to a junk yard looking at eclipse's but I think they are all 420a. My crank pulley got lost in the mail

On the 4G6#, it is the four bolts for the crank pulley (accessory belts). The large center bolt is for the crank sprocket (timing belt).
Place a floor jack and a block of wood under the engine for support and remove the driver side engine mount. Carefully lower the engine down until you gain enough room to remove the pulley.
Any way you look at it, you'll need to remove the driver side engine mount. For support of the engine, you have options. People are more likely to have a hydraulic jack than an engine hoist/cherry picker which is why I suggested the jack, not to mention it is much less of a hassle. Just be absolutely certain you do not use the jack alone. Use a block of wood in between the jack and the engine!
Driver side engine mount -- by your belts, not the transmission mount. There are two nuts and one bolt mating the mount to the engine bracket and one bolt mating the mount to the frame. The "through" bolt mating the mount to the frame threads into a built-in nut in the wheel well. Use the jack and block of wood to support the engine before trying to loosen the nuts/bolts. That will allow for some slack when you break them loose. If you are concerned with snapping bolts, try spraying some lubricant (WD40, PB Blaster, etc.) on the fasteners for peace of mind.
