Last time I removed that left engine mount the welds on the bolts broke free inside the frame (and yes, I had soaked them in PB blaster beforehand). If you have a tight schedule, you should probably just have a shop do it.

It's a pretty easy job. Especially if you don't have the power steering. You do have to remove the motor mount on that side, so just use a jack under the oil pan with a block of wood to support the motor. You should replace the tensioner pulley while you're in there. Try to use complete sentences and periods too, please. It makes understanding the information you provide a lot easier.
