Subject:R&R engine mounts on 1989 Westfalia

I'm looking for best practices info on replacing my 4 rear engine mounts.
Looking at Bentley it shows the mounts attached between the carrier
(moustache bar) and the engine support. I had originally thought that the
way to proceed would be to leave the engine support in place and remove the
carrier bar with the old mounts attached. Now I am not sure if I should...
1) remove the carrier bar leaving the mounts attached to the engine support
and then remove them separately
or...
2) remove the carrier bar with the mounts attached and then remove them
from the bar
or...
3) remove the carrier bar, mounts, and engine support as a unit
or...
4) someone's better method

I'd like to avoid removing the cat and muffler if reasonable.

Thx
Pat
