The bolts holding the bracket to the body. When you take these out the
engine might settle a little but will for the most part stay where it
was. For alignment if used a small drift punch through one of the holes
to work the bracket around until I can get enough bolts back in and no longer
need the punch. The mechanic I get parts from says there are supposed
to be 5 bolts in the bracket but most are missing. I only have 3 in each
but there hasn't been a problem yet.
If your transmission mounts look like blocks of black goo, replace them.
You will find it much easier to reinstall them.
Also, I didn't see any mention of the heater temp control cable being
disconnected. I remember this cable from a very embarassing engine pull,
almost as embarassing as the time I tried to pull the engine/transmission
without removing the shift lever. Then there was that pesky little hose
for the oil pressure gauge.
