I second that one... you'll end up unbolting the starter, prolly the A/c compressor, and possibly the alternator (it's been a while since I did it). The stands suck to get off, and the bolts are usually corroded/rusted. I had to replace 3 of my mounting bolts. I did it in my garage with air tools, the car 2' up in the air, and it still sucked and took the better part of 3 hours. It did help with engine rock a little, but you feel EVERYTHING out of the motor now, and from what I hear some engines are picky about them setting off the anti-knock sensor.

I took my headers out, installed poly motor mounts and put manifolds back in all in the same day. did not have to remove anything else (a/c and whatever) with the exhaust out of the way.

well, i'm doing mine right now...i took out the ac compessor (found that removing the EGR make it much easier), alternator and starter. the passenger side was a breeze...never touched the pedastal. the driver's side??? holy ****, what a PITA...the LTs don'e leave much room, I don't have a swivel...there are studded bolts that a heat shield attaches to, so clearance is a real issue. the pedastal actually has getten in the way, so i am in the process of removing it. stupid rain and no garage means work to be continued Monday
oh, i almost forgot, my drill is too much of a wuss to get through the rivets on the old mounts, so i hafta score a drill before Monday so i can remove the factory inserts. oh well, at least my torch works, lol
