Can you do away with the a/c? I'm trying to remove the heater core and ran into problems disconnecting the a/c lines. It's not charged and I'll never use it so I figured I'll just cut the lines and do away with it but I don't want to run into more problems later on.

If u want to leave it alone. Just disconnect the clutch wires.
Transmission mounts is easy to replace.
Support the transmission with a jack and piece of wood, remove four cross member bolts/studs, and remove the four nuts that is holding the crossmember in the middle. And two more nuts or bolts that holds the mount on the transmission. U may need to slide the hanger off the exhaust

Nope, he shouldn't have to.
Make sure you have the right kind of mount, and that it goes on the right way. There's at least two different ones I've seen, one has offset studs that go into the crossmember, the other does not. Also, the mounts are made with a little angle to them. When you mount it up, put something flat like a screwdriver on the bottom of the mount. You want it to slope down towards the front tires or you'll have a hard time mounting the crossmember back up.
Also, you should replace your motor mounts at pretty much the same time or they will wear out quickly. (Do only one side at a time when you're doing it)

You've got all the parts for it, should be pretty straight forward. Everything transmission related needs to be swapped over. Search for write ups, they're out there.
