But pre-Toltec culture were of a different linguistic group. So you should either concentrate on the direct links of the nahua speaking groups to Atlantis or on the Atlantean heritage of pre-toltec cultures to it.
Otherwise, the argument gets pretty fuzzy: The early mesoamerican cultures (say, Olmecs) preserved parts of the Atlantean technology and culture while lost their language. Then they got conquered by a completely different stem of Atleantean heirs who were basically barbarians but preserved bits of Atlantean language.
