The car is assembled as a whole drive train bolted in with 8? bolts. I would find the eight bolts and jack the car off the drive train...

exactly and since its not like some crazy type of engine swap the prices shouldn't be outrageous cuz its basically "plug and play" in a matter of speaking.

Nah, ya' missed the point. Drop the entire front subframe with the engine/transaxle including struts/wheels/etc. Ask a junkyard how they do it! They are the pros!
