Well not so much a hill a slight slope.

I need to jack the car up to get at the crank pulley as I need to take it off in order to get the belt cover off. Would you jack it up? Would only be the one side. I'm not sure if I need to do anything different.

couple of blocks or chocks behind the wheels would be helpful as well.

Is there enough spec to turn the car so its pointing at the camera? Then you could jack it up on the lower side which would give you plenty of room

I'd just push it up onto ramps.
