Replacing Engine Mounts

I just got some new engine mounts since my current ones seems to be going bad.
Is there anything i should disconnect other then the battery to lift the engine?
If theres any tips anyone could give me, that would be awsome...

no need to disconnect anything. Place your car on jackstands, place a floor jack under the front of your of your tranny.Unbolt your motormounts, then jack up the tranny and your engine should lift up several inches. Slide your old mounts out , install the new ones and position them. Lower the jack slowly and check if the mounts are in the right positions, drop the jack all the way and tighten all the motor mount bolts then done.

Ive had to replace my motor mounts at the track once, and did it in less than 30min. Its really ez.

Goodluck
