leaving the mounts on the engine, and unbolting from underneath seems to be easier to get in. make sure to clean up your bay now, so you dont get pissed off later because you didnt do it.
yeah i left the motor mount on it and unbolted them from underneath the car. i also plan on cleaning the engine bay out because the last motor that was in there leaked quite a bit of oil over its 170k mile life span.
i just hope i can remember where all the vacume lines and wire connections go when im putting it back together

maybe finishing the other half of the bottle tonight might not be a good idea
