David:
Front engine mounts: no need to disconnect the driveshaft.
Rear mounts (on tranny): I'm not sure since I normally do this as part
of a clutch job when the tranny is out. I suspect that it will be difficult
to lift the transmission to gain sufficient working room without dropping
the driveshaft. However, since you have to gut the interior to remove
the tranmission cover anyway, what's four more bolts to remove the
driveshaft? :) (I assume non-O/D - O/D mounts are different.)
Enjoy!
