Howdy SB -
I had to replace a broken mount (Passenger side), and was able to get it out by removing all the frame bolts and flywheel housing bolts, and driving it out to the rear since the exhaust pipe blocked it in front.In your case, the Float-A- Motor comes apart in the middle so no problem.

When they're out, replace the driver's side stock mount first since the motor will move over for you.
Then loosen the front body mount bolts, and use a scissors jack from the tranny to the frame on the passenger's side to widen the frame out for the other mount to go in.You'll have to remove the side mount bracket on the passenger's side to give enough room for the mount to slip in.

We put the inside rubber in the frame first, and lubed the mount with cable pulling compound (available at an electrical supply store) to slip the Passenger's side mount in.
