the engine naturally falls forward when you remove the transmission mounts. This is why you wedge a piece of wood between the pan and the power steering rack. If you dont, the engine tilts forward and the top bolts get blocked by the firewall.
However, I find it much easier to just allow the engine to tilt forward. In fact, I remove the transmission mounts and then jack up the transmission end to tilt the motor as far forward as possible. This gives you tons more room to get the top bolts from up top! Way easier that trying to land 3ft of wobble extensions on a bolt BLIND if you're doing the job yourself.
