Trans is easy. Unbolt it, jack the rear of the trans up carefully, wiggle the old one out and wiggle the new one in and bolt it back together. You can prob bang that out yourself.
Engine mounts are a little tougher.
Make sure they are using 1993 Ford convertible mounts if you have them change them. Stiffer, and sits the engine down slightly lower

I 2nd the vert mounts. do just like 90lxcoupe for the motor mounts. use the block of wood under the pan. get some freeze off or some type of penetrating oil for the nuts & bolts + a breaker bar if the they are really on there. remove one side at a time, undo the lower nuts from the k-member then jack it up remove the bolts from the block and install the new mount, lower it down slow. you may have to "jump" the mount into place with a pry bar since most of the time it doesn't always like to line up. do the same for other side.
the front part of the pan as very little surface area, it's strong + with you use a block of wood supporting it so the jack doesn't punch through. It works well and is done alot, just make sure the block of wood goes across the pan beyond the edges.
^^ you can get the vert mounts locally or at 50resto.com. The other mount are more solid and will cause alittle more NVH than the stockers, also if you are still running the stock fan/shroud you don't want to raise the height of the motor via the mounts or the fan could hit the shroud.
use a block of wood that extends past each side of the pan by atleast an inch, lay it on top of the jack and slide it under the front part of the pan. jack it up intil it just puts pressure on the pan and then loosen 1 of the mounts, now jack it up until the mount clears the k-member and remove the block bolts & pul it out. the motor will move/tilt enough to get it out, usually more so if th mount is really worn like mine was. if for some reason the motor doesn't tilt and it keeps going straight up, disconnect the other mount and raise the motor until the mounts clear, chances are when you lower it down the mounts will not line up. this is no biggie, you can either man handle the motor from the top and rock it to jump it into place or use a pry bar to jump the mount into place, try to get one in and started then work the other. Even better have a buddy help you and giude the motor down into place as you lower the jack. It's hard to explain but easy to see when are doing it and you will not hurt anything if you have to jump the mounts in. the mounts are really easy don't over think it, torque everything down and you will be all set
