Default Solid motor mount install

im in the middle of installing the solid motor mounts and i was just wondering if it would be easier to just unbolt the pedastle and mount form the block and k member than to unbolt the ac compressor and alt and then unbolt mounts?

Not as long as you dont go crazy with the jack.. Engine mounts are designed to give the motor some wiggle room.
