Also, looking down on my engine shock mounts, the black rubber centers seem to be moving up and down and look split from the actual mount. Do i need just the basic kit which are the bushings or the shock mount kit?

Id get the whole shock mount kit. Might as well replace the bushings that are in there wile you are at it for the extra few bucks.
A helper, some long extensions and universals really spped up getting the shock mounts out.
