Randy, I think the vibration thing is a personal issue. It bothers some and not others.
Assuming you have good lower mounts, it seems to me that a poly bushing in the front end of the upper mount should be no biggie, vibration wise. Also, the vibration is something you may notice more at idle than when driving.
Both my '96 cars (mine and daughter's) have a poly upper mounts on the front, rubber at the firewall. My car also has a solid rear lower, a stock front lower, and poly control arm bushings. There IS a bit more vibration at highway speeds than in my daughter's car, but nothing to get excited about. My car just feels more connected to the road. These old 9Ks are not the sensory deprivation zones that many new cars seem to be, so a little vibration is nothing to worry about.
You have the poly mount you got from the boneyard, so cut out the old one and slip in the poly one. Drive it for a couple weeks and see what you think. When you do the cut, just work carefully so you don't cut into the bracket. Shouldn't take more than 15-20 minutes if you have a good blade.
