When I pulled mine it wasn't anything unusual that I remember.  Just unbolt it, jack the engine up, and put in the new one.

Bill,
There are three bolts on the motor mounts.  Two upper bolts go through cast in holes in the side of the block, and the lower bolt is at the bottom of the mount itself, where it sits on and is attached to the frame.  The left (driver's) side is easy.  Using a socket, go through the hole in the bottom of the frame crossmenmber.  Take off the nut and lock washer from both mounts, carefully.  If you let the nut or washers drop into the frame itself, you may not be able to get them out.  Go over to the right side and remove the bottom nut so that you will be able to raise the motor.   After taking off the lower nut, and by using a jack under a solid, unbraekable part of the engine to raise it up just enough to take the weight off the mountn (be sure and use safety stands under the car) you can remove the two smaller bolts and work motor mount loose. 
Obviously installation is just going backwards.
