thats how i changed mine, jacked it up high enough and took them out.
dont be afraid to go too high and bend something, my colum shifter stuff was fine.
p.s. i hope the mounts you got are the right ones as the ones i put on werent the fluid filled ones and it vibrates horribly. no one had the right ones :/

There's a tab that sticks through a hole on the bracket, it's to prevent the engine from knocking the hood off when (that's WHEN, not if) the mount breaks....hopefully this isn't your hang-up. No pun intended.

If you can get a light and a mirror up in there, you'll see what I mean. Also, be wary of your exhaust...if that's still bolted tight, and it's a fairly good pipe, that could be an issue as well.

Good luck and keep us posted.
