[s-cars] Motor mounts revisited - another question

[chris chambers]

I neglected to state that I replaced the transmission mounts, and 
the passenger's side mount was toast.

So with that revelation, knowing that the passenger's side motor
mount is known to fail perhaps the new trans mount is causing the 
engine to be cocked in the old motor mount?

Sounds like I'd be best to replace the motor mounts and rule it out.
How time consuming/difficult is replacing the motor mounts?

Thanks
Chris
