Any info on how to change an engine mount on this vehicle without having to support the underneath of the engine?

What I want to know is, if you remove the engine mount will the engine fall out or is it still being held by a support? I don’t see any subframe on this car. So, I was just wondering, what would happen if you removed the engine mount, and one side is jacked on the ground and not on a shop lift? Are there any brackets still holding the engine supporting it? I know there are two bolts on top and two underneath holding the mount on.

Hello,

On this vehicle you must support the engine, while replacing the engine mount.
Without the support the engine will move, and you won't be able to get the new part mounted without moving the engine back into place.

I have attached the replacement steps below.

Let me know if you any questions.
Thank you
