How many engine mounts are there on newage scoobs..? (I believe 2)

I ask as it seems that undoing the r/h mount and raising the engine a little facilitates the removal/decatting of the up-pipe.

However, do you need to re-align the engine/mounts (having replaced engine mounts, on other cars in the past, you usually have to re-align)..?

Any guidlines on this proceedure would be welcome.

i hope someone answers this as i did my up and down pipes last week and noticed that after lowering the engine back down the engine mount didn't quite tighten back up in the same place, i thought i might be stressing the other mount as this will be in the same place still,so have i missed something??

Can't say alignment has been an issue.
Car has been on ramps - undo downpipe to turbo bolts - move downpipe out of way -undo uppipe to turbo bolts - undo uppipe to headers - undo rhs engine mount - get on back and push engine up with feet whilst wiggling old up pipe off and quickly swap with new item. Reverse previous actions.
Engine mount falls back in place.
