Great thanks btrautman.
So standing on the driver side of the car next to the front finder right against the driver side front wheel I know where the mounts are and I can visualize four mounts of which I replace the rear tranny that is behind the engine mount which I saw looking the air box so I still have to replace the left tranny mount which is near the front of the car which I saw looking behind the radiator and I have to replace the right tranny mount which I cannot see unless I look under the car and the mount that I will not replace the engine mount is easy to see at the front passenger side of the engine. So that would be parts 2887 and 2886.
After looking at a picture of the subframe within my hanes manual I noticed that the subframe holds the drive train components and in effect isolates some of the vibrations from the rest of the unibody of the car.
Btrautman during your installation of the ATX did you notice any rubber bushings near the subframe bolts that connect the the unibody of the car that further helps reduce the tranny vibration. When the fan of my car come on and the car is in drive not only can I hear it if the windows are down but I can feel a vibration as the fan comes on. I do know that there are rubber bushings under the radiator where the it is connected to the subframe so I wonder if that rubber's old age is causing some vibration to go into the passenger compartment.

Well I went to autozone to pick up the parts and guess what? There I found out that the mounts were simply the rubber inserts and no metal mount frames included. So when it comes to mounts is it best to just purchase the whole assembly or are inserts just as good?

Metal is Metal. Just purchase inserts. Take out the metal housing so that you can have plenty of leverage to install the inserts properly.....This is what I use and they are fine.

Update.....
12,000 miles on car. Had to replace irmc vacuum diaphram. Developed a leak. Also had to replace rack and pinion! I should have replaced it when I had the engine and atx out.....I didn't think it would EVER go out on me. Otherwise car drives like new.
Regards,
Bob

Did perform a upper and lower manifold intake cleaning - wasn't really needed but wanted to check out the condition.
