Cannot remove motor mounts on M1009

[zcamarokid]

I am trying to change my motor mounts, but I am having no luck removing them. I took the 3 bolts that hold the mount to the engine bracket. I also took the bolt out that runs through the engine bracket and the mount. I removed these 4 bolts on both sides of the engine. I placed a jack with a 2x4 under the oil pan to jack the motor off of the mounts, but it raises the entire front end. I do not see any other bolts that are holding the mounts to the engine and frame.

I also removed the 2 trans mount bolts thinking this would remove the possibility of binding on the drive line. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I checked this out earlier but still do not see how the engine is not free. I removed bolt #16 in the tech manual, and 3 bolts that hold the rubber mount to bracket 17 in the tech manual. These 3 bolts are not shown in the tech manual you referenced, but they are shown in manual 34P. Reaching bolt #22 looks next to impossible with the engine in place since it is so tight...

Going to see if I can borrow my neighbors engine hoist to try and move the engine from the top.

I remember have to use a gear wrench on the drivers side.. loseing the nut from the back side of mount

After rereading the tech manual it states:

If only removing engine mount (21) or engine mount brackets (17), and
no other engine components have been removed, engine should only
be raised until there is enough clearance to remove bolts (22). Raising​
engine too far may result in damage to engine components.

After reading that I should be able to lift the engine without removing those impossible to reach #22 bolts. Still confused as to why the engine will not budge...

Ok I finally got it. Once I continued to jack on the oil pan after it was picking up the entire front end the engine came loose. After that the mounts literally slid out.
