What if I don't replace my vaporized upper engine mount bushing? 850 1996

Greetings all,

I've been methodically fixing all the things wrong with my '96T wagon (seat heaters, axles, tailgate trim, PNP, blower motor) and am down to only a few more: headlight wiper, tailgate struts, ECC, heated mirror, and upper engine mount bushing.

What if I don't fix it? I expect the engine will shake around enough to do something, but not sure. Will it lead to the dreaded rear main seal leak? I assume that's going to happen anyway (105k miles). Will it cause my A/C to fail? No, that happens anyway, too. Will I grow hair on my palms? Wait a minute - that was another bulletin board I was looking at.

Anyway - what will happen? As always, your thoughts are appreciated.
