Default Motor mount installation

Tried the search, but it seems to be down for the moment.

Is there a write-up anywhere on the installation of a driver's side motor mount? I want to swap my stocker out for a poly mount, and I didn't see anything on Install University. My car's got 65k on it, and the engine seems to be getting a bit more movement that I want to try and diminish.

be sure to place a block of wood on the jack under the pan to distribute the weight along the edges of the pan...not the center
