Default Replacing engine mounts with engine in chassis

I've got some new mounts I'd like to put on my 68 GTO. The car is on a Quick Jack so I have plenty of room underneath. I'd like to replace the engine mounts in situ ... engine fully installed, exhaust hooked up.

Obviously I'll need to lift the engine a tad. I'd rather not bring my big break-down engine hoist from the barn to the shop and assemble it just to have to disassemble it and move it back (it's cold and wet up here).

So, first can I get to the mounts well enough with everything assembled (no front clip) to replace them. And .. is there a way to jack the engine up enough from the bottom to take the pressure off the mounts so I can replace them.

Thought about the front pulley ... doesn't seem like a good idea, don't think the oil pan with a board or something would be good either. Edge of the bell housing (automatic). Starter motor? (just kidding).

Possible? Or stupid?
