One tip that can make it easier, but not manditory is to remove the right side radiator fan, by unplugging connector, removing top two torx screws, and lifting fan out(fan housing is slotted on bottom, so you don't have to take out the bottom torx screw). This will give you more room the first time you are replacing the mount.
BTW, the U-bracket will probably be OK and the mount itself will be torn, assuming that you have a hydraulic mount. The townsendimports.com web site has a good description of the process and also recommends filling the space between the top of the mount and the bracket with a piece of rubber. This restricts movement of the mount and helps prevent tearing of the rubber mount diaphram. Townsend suggests a piece of air conditioner hose, but any piece of plastic or rubber about 1/4 inch thick can be bolted to the underside of the u-bracket using the two holes on either side of the bracket. I cut a section from an old valve cover timing chain guide. Worked fine.
