For driver side, A/C compressor(condensor is in front of radiator) has to be set aside - 2 allen bolts on upper end of bracket and one 12mm bolt on bottom. To get at bottom bolt you must also remove alternator belts and flop alternator to side-mount is slotted so you can pull bracket up once bolt is loose.
then the fun begins, remove wheel to get access to lower engine mount, mounting bracket bolts through fender well. support engine with jack and remove long bolt through mount (Bentley talks about this in engine removal section). Remove oil filter and you might have to unscrew oil filler tube(can't remember exactly). You should then be able to wiggle the mount and its bracket out. That said, this side mount is probably OK anyway so why not just do the front and passenger side...much easier. The driver side will take a half a day first time, but you can do both the front and passenger side in less than a couple of hours.
First remove front mount and when front mount is out pass side is easier. to get front remove intake plumbing and pass side fan at a minimum, but it's easier if you remove both fans. Then unbolt mount and support engine with jack to remove mount. Then unbolt passenger side mount and remove. It might be easier to remove lower mount bolts through firewall as I described for driver side, but if front mount is out you can probably get enought clearance to remove pass mount without removing the lower support bracket that it sits on.
