Yes Alan type

M6 on the mounts to engine frame
M8 on the mounts to engine arms.

Seems straight forward however thats all relative,

Accessing the M6's are not the easiest of all tasks, do able though.
Accessing the M8 is easy, right through cross member.

Spray some Liquid Wrench / Kroil to help the M6's...

You can get the outboard bolts from the top.
The Inboard bolts are more difficult, passenger side moreso than driver.

Take your time, don't strip the heads on the M6s...Its not a horrible job, just a pain in the arse.

Also, when jacking up the motor, be careful of the rear coolant hose that goes/comes from the heater core. If you lift it up significantly, you might damage it and have the hose burst off when the system becomes pressurized..don't ask how i know this.
