Default Motor mount and jacking points??

Do you havve to remove the a/c to change the passenger side mount or is there an easier way... I did the driver side mount which wasnt too much of a PITA. Also this seems like a stupid question but, jacking the car up on the K member in the center doesnt hurt it, does it?? Or the lower A-arm the side nearest to the engine? thanks....

Lower control arm side is okay, I did mine once on the K-member and it started to dent so I stopped, I have heard other people jackin by the K-memeber but I don't. When I did my mounts I had to remove the AC just made it a whole hell of alot easier.

I took the a/c and mounting bracket off to make it easier to get the bolt out.
