FWIW, removing the motor mount and raising whichever side your working on as high as possible, simplifies the job somewhat. Tilting, and raising the engine, gives much better access to the bolts, well worth the time to remove the motor mount bolt. I usually prefer rolling the engine from one side as opposed to raising it in the middle. Those couple degrees of tilt make a difference.
Does it make it easy? No, but it makes an unpleasant chore a little more palatable.
