After doing many my biggest tips are:

1.) Support the engine.  You want the engine pretty much to stay
in its place when you remove a mount.  This helps greatly when
putting it back in.
2.) To remove the old passenger side mount insert the easiest
way is to start at the opening with either a dremel or a
hack saw and saw away at the sleeve until you get thru
it.  Then bend the sleeve inwards and it will *FALL* out.
3.) *Lubrication* is key to get the passenger side mount in.
4.) When bolting the passenger side mount back in put the long
bolt that goes thru the center in first.  Next put the outer to
 bolts on the engine in and tighten *ALL* the way.  Finally put
the center bolt on the engine in.  With the outer 2 bolts tightened
up the middle one will line up perfectly.  Finally tighten the long
bolt that goes thru the center of the mount.

Other then that its pretty straight forward.
