If you're going through the trouble to change the mounts, might as well change the engine shocks while you're there, especially if they never have been.

Speaking of shocks, you should at least unscrew one end, since at some point of jacking up the engine to get the mount out, you can reach the maximum extension of the shocks & maybe damage them.

The oil cooler line being cut by the power steering belt is a very real possibility. That's why I had to change my mounts. If the hose is worn, it might be best to replace it while you have the engine up for the mounts. A ruptured oil cooler hose is messy.
