What about approaching this from the other side?
The mount bolts to the frame with two bolts, one is a nut-and-bolt
thru a hole in the mount point on the frame, the other is a bolt-only
that threads into a captured nut inside the frame.

>From _under_ the car, go after these two bolts. That frees the
mount from the frame, leaving the mount bolted to the engine.

That's how I've always done it...
