The passenger side, however, was shot and riding on the stop. This combination resulted in the increased vibration felt in the car, and very noticeable noise when taking hard left turns under power/speed. The old tranny mounts looked and felt fine to me, but I replaced them anyhow since I was there and had the parts on hand. They are only $7 each for the Lemforder tranny mounts anyhow.
Also replaced the vacuum lines, since I had the opportunity and the new factory vacuum line on hand.
The car is like new again. This project was worthwhile and yielded some satisfying results. My car has 109k miles on it by the way. If you're over 100k, I'd recommend looking at replacing your mounts soon.

How difficult was it to route the new vacuum lines for these mounts?
