What six do you have? If you have a 230 or 250, you don't have to change the frame side of the engine mounts. If you have a 292, you'll need to change the passenger side, but the driver's side is the same.
Its a 250. When I bought the truck I was hoping for a 292 at lest but now I'm glad I didn't get it lol. Now after doing a bit of research I think I'm going to go with block hugger headers as the manifolds, which I prefer the look, rob 20+ hp and 40+ ft/lbs of torque. This was the style I had my eye on
