You can see the front cage nuts from the holes next to the frame in the firewall. make sure you spray into there too.
I was able to get my front sub back on the car by myself with only a floor jack and a few jack stands. Took about 10 minutes of juggling it a little with one bolt in the back spot, then pulling the front up and trying to start a bolt by hand.
My cousin said he used to re-install the frames with the engine in them when he worked resto. He had to be very careful about scratching stuff too. I wouldnt worry about R&R
