Good point about the radiator hoses.
If I were doing it how you describe, and choose not to remove the hoses, I would unbolt the radiator and let it move with the engine. I would also be careful of the carb linkage when jacking it up 2 inches.

I guess I wasn't really clear in my post. When I have changed the mounts I have removed the nut on the bottom of the mount (through the crossmember); jacked the engine slightly (to take the weight off); and then removed the bolts that fasten the bracket to the engine. I'd then pull the mount and bracket out as one piece and change the mount on the bench. I just found it easier to do it this way instead of working only with the mount. Opened things up in there to clean a bit too.

IIRC, I placed a 2x4 on end between the crank pulley and oil pan and then jacked from there. Lifting on the front of the oil pan. I didn't have to lift it much though.

Sorry if this makes things even more confusing!
