The AC compressor is not in the way of the motor mount. If you access the three bolts on the driver's side from in back of the crossmember as noted in my post, you'll have no problems at all.

As to any danger of the engine shifting while it is being lifted with a jack, that is why I recommend doing one side at a time. Unless both mounts are completely torn, the engine can't go very far. If one side is torn, do that one first. The other side will keep the engine in place. If both mounts are torn and the engine has already shifted, then you are going to suffer some getting it back into the right spot anyway, so the "one side at a time" scenario is moot.

I have a piece of hardwood with a curve chopped out of it just the width of the pan. In the middle of the curve is a hole that the drain plug sits in. It's my block for the jack when I do motor mounts. Not necessary, but not a bad idea. Do be careful regardless. On stock height cars I do this without even raising the vehicle. On lowered cars I use ramps.
