The car is assembled as a whole drive train bolted in with 8? bolts. I would find the eight bolts and jack the car off the drive train... ;)

better safe than sorry.

exactly and since its not like some crazy type of engine swap the prices shouldn't be outrageous cuz its basically "plug and play" in a matter of speaking.

Nah, ya' missed the point. Drop the entire front subframe with the engine/transaxle including struts/wheels/etc. Ask a junkyard how they do it! They are the pros!
