does anyone have a step by step for swapping an engine mount

There is a bracket that connects with three bolts to the ears on the driver's side of the block and one bolt to the top of the engine mount.  I have one solid mount and the bolt to the bracket must have come loose.  I just noticed it is not there. 

I am looking for a step by step instruction for replacing this bolt.

My guess is that I take off the bolt between the engine mount and K-frame.
Raise the engine (I would use a floor jack with a board on the oil pan, but I really hate doing that and denting it.
Then I loosen the two top bolts on the bracket and remove the lower one. 
Then rotate the bracket to get to the hole and bolt to the engine mount.  Then rotate back around, tighten the three bolts, then bolt the engine mount back to K-frame.

Does this sound right?  Am I missing anything?

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

No complete step by step because i did it many years ago but i will have a go.
Jack up the car put on stands, get a big piece of thick timber  that would cover as much of the oil pan as possible make sure it goes to the edges of the pan where the side wall strength is. Get a trolley jack and place the wood between the pan and jack, line it up don't lift yet Loosen engine mount bolts on both sides. Lift jack slightly to take weight may need to adjust a few times till bolts come out and slip in new mount do one side at a time don't fully tighten yet do the other side and then slowly lower and tighten. A big no no do not mix up the bolts put back as they come out. Some people put in one big long bolt instead of two this will end in tears  :'( you will break the lugs off the block keep it all how mother Mopar made it.
