The tranny mount is out since the atx is out. The only mount that may still be connected is the one on your passenger side. So if I am looking at your picture correctly the one mount is holding the engine from moving around and the stand on that edge of the oil pan is holding the other end of the engine up!! Don't be surprised if you have an oil pan leak afterwards!!!!! You would have thought they would have least put a block of wood there..... I agree guys... Not meaning to get you down mattmatt or drag on ya, but I would expect to see that sort of work in someone's front yard that could care less about the car. That is some really shady work!! It would also not surprise me if you have problems with your rack and pinion assy afterwards either. Not to mention the mounts! Phillip Jackson `98 Mystique LS 262K+ and counting...

One more question....In the picture with the closeup of the lift where it contacts the body, it looks like they just crushed your lifting point if you ever have to use your jack!!! Shouldn't they have placed the arm of that lift on the frame.....That is where I place my jackstands, etc. Sorry Matt...I don't mean to make you feel worse!
