Thus, I'm trying to balance the mounts so that they do not add any extra stress on the transmission, especially since mine's got a $2000 rebuild on it.
You also indicated a concern about stress to the tailhousing of the transmission.
F-bodies with tq. arms attached like stock tend to break stock rubber trans. mounts and break tailhousings.
Cars that don't, don't.
Re-read Merv's post and take heed. I'm not saying you need to do it now to replace a broken mount. But look what you just did to the stock mount. Divorcing the tq. arm from the tail. is how to prevent that from happening anywhere near as much.

Back to my last question. Can I use the V6 A4 mount?

btw, you know this how? I just don't want to find myself under my car, realizing that the mount doesn't work.
