I don't think you have to touch the engine mounts. This is how it was done by a mechanic when I had bearing problems:
The plastic air shields were already off the car.
Oil was drained.
Crankshaft pulley access cover was removed.
Passenger side subframe bolts were removed in the front with an air tool, but the subframe was left attached in the back.
O2 sensors were removed to protect the wires.
Exhaust was separated between the cat and the flex pipe, and left hanging.
Sump bolts were taken out with an air tool.
Couple whacks on the side of the sump with a soft mallet and it came loose.
A pry bar was inserted between the loose end of the subframe, and the front crossmember. One person held the subframe section down about two inches with a pry bar from the front while another one worked to get the oilpan out. Then the sump was moved toward the exhaust side, rotated 90 degrees, and lowered.
It is more difficult with the car on stands, but it can be done. The main reason why I had a mechanic do it was to get a professional opinion on what turned out to be a clogged oil pickup screen, metal shavings in the oil pan, and damaged bearings. There was no damage to the head of the engine in my case.
Good luck.
