For front on NA, it takes removing cooling fan assembly, and raising the engine a little to slide out the old and place the new one on subframe.

Rear requires more work. Three mounting bolts at the collision bracket must be loosened for the engine mount to become free at the subframe.

These are two independent tasks. https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... =1&t=60920
Love the ride afterward. A must to enjoy new suspension overhaul.
