Spider Motor Mount Replacement

["Robert J Favali" <rob@domain.elided>]

During my recent success at bleeding my clutch the long way, I found
evidence that my Driver's Side Motor Mount is failing. The part is on order
but a little advice is sought.

It does not look very difficult (as compared to the passenger side).
My approach would be to hit the bolts with some penetrate and remove the pan
guard, air filter assembly, etc.
Place my hydraulic jack with a block of wood under the oil pan
Jack it to a point of small resistance and loosen the mount bolts ....
More jacking .... loosen more .... more jacking until the motor is sustained
by the jack with enough clearance to allow me to remove and replace the
mount.
Replace the mount / torque and release the jack slowly.

Does this make sense?
Have I missed an obvious step as I did in my clutch bleeding adventure?
I am reluctant to place the jack-wood block against the oil pan but I see no
alternative. It is the jacking up of the motor that raises my questions. Can
I do this without loosening the passenger side mount? (I believe I can.)

Lastly ... does anyone know the bolt size (dia. / length) for the bolt that
goes into the engine block??

Many thanks for your help,
