I just finished changing the broken bracket and engine mount in about 3 hours. This is doable if you have a pair of low profile ramps and and a floor jack.
1. Take off the plastic shields on the passenger side.
2. Take off the serpentine access cover in the passegner wheel well.
3. Support the oil pan with a floor jack and pieces of wood to distribute the load. Jack the engine up slightly.
4. Apply pressure to the serpentine belt tensioner and loosen the belt. Remove the belt from the A/C compressor.
5. Remove the 2 screws to the BPC and move it and the 3 tubes out the way - moving this will cause less cuts on you arms.
6. From under the hood, remove the 2 bolts (15mm wrench) holding the A/C compressor. (You may want to remove the lower radiator hose to get more clearance).
7. Under the passenger wheel, remove the 3rd A/C bolt.
8. Push the A/C compressor up and forward.
9. Remove the remaining 2 bracket bolts from under the hood. Be careful not to damage the A/C clutch wires.
10. Carefully "wiggle" the old bracket out from underneath.
11. Remove the passenger motor mount.
12. Reassemble in reverse order.
13. Don't forget to refill with antifreeze if the lower radiator hose was removed.
