Well...I did mine with the engine out...But my guess it a shop would drop the subframe
and support the engine from above...I assume they would be quite a PITA to do with the engine in the car. To tell you the truth, if they dont completely unbolt the subframe, just the front, then you shouldn't need an alignment if my memory serves me correctly. But, they aren't too spendy so you might just want to get it done anyway.

Engine mounts easy?...not so much I assume...the weight of the engine sits on the engine
mounts...so you have to support the engine somehow to get them out...plus it's kind of tight quarters in there to unbolt them...and get them around all the other crap in there.

Yeah I never really thought about it. People just made it sound as if it was easy to do with
the bumper off. Oh well. Passenger side was shot anyway so it needed to be done.

probably a little high; think my tech did it in 3 hours. you have to remove a lot of the
turbo piping to get to the driver's side one, I believe.
maybe you were thinking of the snub mount? or trans mounts?
