I will be removing my engine tomorrow. Have just about everything prepped and removed. The WSM guide to removal appears to be different to what my '84 Euro S setup is regarding motor mount removal. It appears that MM's would be very difficult to remove with the engine in the car, even if you jack it up from the pan. Both the top and bottom nuts appear to have very limited access. But it looks like I can leave the MM's attached when pulling the engine, I just need to unbolt their brackets and pull them all together. Correct?

There's "strokes for folks" but I remove the two bolts on each mount that go into the block.

those are the bolts I am referring to. One 19mm and one 13mm on each side. Just checking to see if it will work.

Just remove the pair of 13s and 17s? that bolt the brackets to each side of the block.

The lower nut for each mount is hidden by the rack --- leave them.
The upper nut for each mount sandwiches the mount to the bracket --- those are dealt with at the workbench when putting new mounts in the brackets.

I have the mounts and brackets out of a 1984 Euro S 5 speed, for installation tonight.
I can take pictures if you need them.

But do what Glen says and just disconnect bracket from block.

As long as it's free from the cross member, that's all that's needed.

Doug, remember to remove the last cable holder on the cross member. It is difficult to get to with motor in, but when raised a bit can be accessed.
