poly motor mounts
I did a search and found enough info. Mostly, you just need to know to move (you can leave them plugged in) the AC compressor, starter, and alternator.
Installing poly mounts was a major pain due to tight access - it took me about 6-7 hours each. However, I very glad I did it - the rubber one's were so bad that they would move close to an inch, hitting my headers on the K-member. I had vibration problems with a poly tranny mount and took it out but noticed no vibration increase with the motor mounts.

Im in the middle of doing mine now it took me eight hours to get the drivers side out and all of the accessories out of the way, and the passenger side took me and hour and i didnt take the starter out. Now i have to grind the rivets on the clam shells and put the new mounts in and then start to put the car back together.
I've LOCATED my motor mounts, but have a question as far as replacing the clamshell.. I haven't seen a howto on replacing them so I'll ask. Do the rubber and poly mounts have the same shape? In other words, if I yank off my stock mount and start drilling the rivets out, will I put the poly mount on the clamshell the exact same direction/orientation as the rubber one I just took off?
If anyone has pics with their motor mount swap it'd be great..

if dont have the directions just keep the orientation of everything the same. which ever side (up or down) the tabs are on when you take the mount apart make sure thats the same way you put it together
