I'm trying to figure out if it would make it difficult / impossible to install if the car's weight is on the wheels, because once the mount is off, the weight of the engine is on the supporting jack, so the body of the car be bounced up and creating a gap between engine carrier and the mounting point?

Lvt - actually my engine mount (and transmission mount) had been replaced by my Indy during the last service a few months ago because the vibration at idle was more than normal. Ironically, I'm now replacing it again with a solid engine mount which will probably create even more vibration
I had the weight of the car on the wheels but I don't think it would matter. Your just adding enough lift to take the pressure off of the mounts and replace them one at a time. I used Function First mounts and I thought they were a nice mix between stiffer than stock but not stiff to create a lot of noise vibration or drone.

I wonder how these Wevo mount compares to the RSS Tarmac mount, I think they are very similar priced. Any insight or link on comparison ?

Yes to purchase the RSS mounts or the Wevo mounts was roughly the same once I do the currency exchange and shipping down under I only went Wevo because I liked the look of them over the RSS ,,,its really just a personal choice both products are equally as good as the other ....
