Was taking a look at my car yesterday to see if you had to do everything indicated in my prior post. Maybe a master tech/contortionist could get the rear mount right out, but it looks pretty tight. i think you will need to unbolt the A/C compressor mount (lower 12mm bolt can be accessed by removeing alternator belts and flopping alternator away from engine), and set the compressor and its mount on top of the engine (with hoses still on). Then remove the alternator by removing top two bolts on engine mount, so you can pivot the mount on lower bolt to get firewall clearance to pull main throughbolt (good time to replace those alternator bushings). Remove oil filter and pull the oil filler tube out. I think that will give you enough room to get at the upper control arm.
