I recently did my front lower mount (under the water pump). I think this is supposed to be the toughest. Others include rear lower mount (back towards passager compartment), lower transmission mount (solid rubber, under tranny, less prone to breaking), and upper "dogbone" torque arm. I think that the one I did is supposed to be the toughest, took me about 4 hours, I could probably duplicate it in about 1 hour. Longest part was taking off the dozen or so darn little nuts holding the fender liner in. After that, support the engine with a makeshift engine house, or jack it up with a piece of 2x4 under the sump, carefully not to smash anything. Pull out old mount, use another 2x4 to pry up engine and pop in new mount (some say to drop the subframe, I did it without this. Not hard, the best tools to have (besides a collection of sockets and wrenches) are a collection of socket extensions, the job is near-impossible witout them. Don't remember the exact sizes but they'll probably be different for the other mounts anyways, just get a variety, up to 24 inch for easy access to the front bolts on the front lower mount.
This is by no means a complete writeup, search "mounts" on this BB to find more complete writeups and excellent links with pictures. I'd read as many different ways as you can, then tackle it yourself, deciding what will work best for you with the tools you have. IMHO this is one of the best DIY jobs in terms of bang-for-buck-saved over what a shop would charge.
