I did it on mine but it's a 4x4 but the same procedure would apply. I used a engine hoist and lifted the motor. I think this is better than jacking the motor from underneath. It keeps the floor area clean so that you don't have to work around the jack. I think that jacking it up might bend something so I didn't do it that way. Don't jack under the oil pan as it could collapse it enough to block the oil pump pickup. I didn't feel too comfortable putting a jack under the harmonic balancer either.
Be carefull of your distributor against the firewall. On 4x4's it's real close. I would also loosen the transmission mounting bolts so you don't stress the mount. That's all I can think of.....
