I just had mine out 2 weeks ago for my header install and thats all you have to do.... Just jack up the engine and it will clear. I used a 6 or a 9 inch extension on a 3/8 drive ratchet and got to the nut on the front and used a wrench to hold the back. If it hasn't been off before sometimes you'll have to use a breaker bar and an extension to get to it. But it shouldn't take but 5 or 10 minutes to do once you get the engine jacked up! Then once you get it loose if it don't want to come out use a screwdriver and a hammer to beat it out of the mount. Watch the threads but mine had a area where there was no threads on it just a flat area and it came to a point. Hope this helps......

motor mount (and passenger side) on my 95z. There are 3 bolts that bolt the
clamshell motor mount casing to the engine.
There is also a single, very long bolt that runs front-to-back of the car. Remove
that long bolt, then remove the 3 bolts holding the engine mount casing to the
motor. You will need to use a floor jack to jack the engine up on that side a bit
to remove it all (to remove the tension). Let me go take some photos of mine
and identify the bolt areas - mine is still up on stands.

In that photo, we are laying on the floor, crawled under from the driver's side,
and looking up towards the hood.
The bolt-with-nut on the right side is the "through-bolt" which is quite a few inches
in length. It runs from front of car to back.
There are three bolts that connect the other half (the clamshell casing) of the
motor mount to the engine block. Two are circled and the third bolt is forward,
which is designed by the red arrow. You can get to that one by crawling under
the front of the car. The two engine-block mount bolts visible are accessible
from behind the driver's side front tire. You can also remove the "through-bolt"
from behind the driver's side tire.
Use a wrench on that side and a socket on the other = cakewalk. I did jack up my engine (put the jack under the m6 tranny) and that helped with clearance, but a wrench and socket will do the trick.
