The studs aren't in (the Yoke studs)... and the coolant lines are off. I believe my big challenge, doing this solo, is lining up the mount holes to the motor holes using a jack. The car is up on jack stands, Esco lowest setting, so it'll be under... out... under... out... under... out... under... out... under... out... under... out... under... out... under... out...

I'm hoping that everything will just fall, figuratively speaking, right into place.

So, you didn't completely remove the motor mount bolts did you? There are two that should stay in place (lower ones) that the mount simply hooks on to. Then, from the top it is relatively easy to get things lined up.

These wrenches (or ones like it) are your friend....
