Best approach for engine mount replacement? '87 300D

I've read a bunch of threads about replacement, but still have a few questions.

Some mention needing air tools for replacement. Should I even try it without them? I have everything like that at my CA house, but I'm in OR for the next few months and the vibration is getting worse.

I'm assuming car on ramps and jack lifting the engine with a block or wood under the oil pan is the standard way to get them off? Are there any particular tricks for alignment or access to fasteners to make the job easier? Torque on the bolts? I have a copy of the FSM but no index to find the sheets, so if someone knows the document number, I can pull it up...

I've replaced many a mount on other cars, and they were always straightforward. Am I overthinking/over-worrying this job?

Thanks!
