Well how long did it take? With the radiator (and oil cooler attached) already out about 20 to 30 minutes!

I did not jack up anything - and I did not have to touch the engine mounts at all.

So say that the lines came out without interference is more or less correct:- You need to pull the lines at the front of the car up in the air to clear the engine mount obstruction... sort of going round the bend.
I think the trick is that with the middle mount gone and the damper too you've got enough jiggle space to get the lines out with out scraping stuff off of your engine bay or your fingers.
