It might be a situation where it is impossible on the 300D. It's very difficult on the 300SD.
I believe that you can simply unbolt the engine from the engine mount and lift it up about 1.5", by jacking the oil pan. This is more than enough to sneak the line behind the engine mount.
I have not done it myself. Possibly one of the other members can give you the intimate details of removing the engine mount on the W123. If you had this much trouble to get it out, you are not going to be successful in getting it back without removing the engine mount.
Edited: see post #7, above.
