the motor mounts are connected to the block with three bolts per side. they are "clam shells" with rubber inside to absorb the vibration. it has a hole in the center for the through bolt. the through bolt attaches to the k member via a mount. its bolted onto the k member with 3 bolts i think. i supported the motor, removed the through bolts on each side, jacked the motor up some, and unbolted both motor mounts. i slid the driver side mount out easily but the passenger mount wouldn't come through. i unbolted the mount on the k member and turned it so the mount could come out.

i would suggest supporting the trans with a jack as well and unbolting the mount from the crossmember so you have more play, but it isn't necessary. i do think i had the steering column unbolted due to clearance issues with my headers. also i had to bend a couple trans lines up onto the serp. belt to remove the passenger through bolt.

start with the driverside and you will see how everything sits and work your way through it. its not as bad as it seems, just tight areas make it troublesome and patience helps a lot. like i said if you run into something, post up or pm me. its very doable just take your time and do it right.
