A Muskyman quote pulled from nosivad bor's old post:

"Using a 15MM ratchet box wrench (old part # were 18MM), I remove all 4 nuts. The weight of the engine holds them in place so the nuts come right off.

Then I lift the passenger side with the bottle jack on the frame under the thick gusset on the AC compressor. Lift the engine high enough that the mount comes right out. Then lower all the way down with out putting in the new mount.

Lift the driver side using the bottle jack on the axle tube at the base of the block at the oil pan. Because the passenger side is down lower there will now be more room to swap the mount without a pry bar (thanks Marc). Lower back down onto new mount.

Go back and lift the passenger side again on the frame under the AC compressor gusset. Lower and replace all 4 nuts."

We used the Muskyman method this morning and it worked out great. I did need to shorten a Harbor Freight ratcheting 15mm wrench for clearance on the drivers side. Thanks for the write up.
