removing front engine mount

Okay, I started a thread a few days ago about pulling the oil and gearbox sump covers on a 308 qv to replace the gaskets (and got some great and timely advice). I was warned that pulling the oil sump cover requires removing the oil dipstick tube and temp sensor and that it also required removal of the front right engine mount. As I looked at it this weekend, that appears to be accurate and so now my questions are regarding pulling the front left engine mount with the engine still in the car. Can I just put a bottle jack somewhere under that corner of the engine to hold it up and then unbolt the mount from the frame and the spacer attached to the engine block? Is there a good place to put the support to remove the mount and then still be able to pull the sump cover or would it be best to 1) support the engine and pull the mount, 2)pull the dipstick tube, 3)put the mount back on, 4)pull the sump cover and do the gasket, 5)replace cover, 6)pull mount then put dipstick tube back, and finally replace mount. That sounds like just about the correct amount of Ferrari PITA to do an otherwise simple task. I appreciate any advice or war stories from owners who have done this foul task before.
