pretend you're taking the whole motor out but instead of doing it all the way, just lift it enough to get clearance and remove/install the new ones. That's the best I can come up with.

As he said, but be careful with the fan shroud.

Use a jack under the oil pan, carefuly.

I was thinking he should remove the fan shroud and use a cherry picker.

Unbolt the clutch slave that pushes the throwout bearing fork so you can get some extra clearance between the transmission and the transmission tunnel and use an engine hoist to lift the engine enough to remove the mounts.
