It can be frustratingly tight down there... especially with A/C.

I personally would start by taking the lower mount bolt off first (with weight still on the mounts to keep the mounts from spinning). Then support the engine. Then take the brackets off the engine. Then clamp whats left of the mounts in your vice and take the top bolt off.

There's a bit of an order of operations in putting them all back in... you'll have to learn that for yourself, but it'll go.

Usually its the left motor mount that goes first. I'll wager to bet both of yours are broken. Definitely worth doing both sides either way. And do it soon... My brother had a 144 with two broken motor mounts, didn't fix it soon enough, and eventually the movement broke or disconnected a fuel line, and the car was a complete loss. Two fire trucks. No injuries.
