When I was doing the left side I tried to put in the two small bolts first but no matter what position I put the engine in I could not get the hole for the large bolt to even come close to lining up to the mount. So then I put the big center bolt in first and located the mount as I said, using two awls. That worked OK for the left side, but the right side looked a lot more cramped...oh well, I will just have to see what I can see tomorrow when I tackle it.

Maybe my mistake was doing one side at a time, but I figured that way I could still keep the car driveable even if I ran into a time crunch (as I did).
