If you don't have the lifting beam in step 2, you can use a jack and a piece of wood to support the engine from the bottom.



Just a couple of pictures of the battery and fuse box.





If you find a hose coming from the top of the transmission and not connected to anything else, no need to worry. This is a hose that is used for transmission ventilation.



You can easily access the mount after the fuse box is moved out of the way. This was on a 2005 9-3T automatic and I didn't have to do step 5 and 6 of the WIS instructions.





My 9-5 has about 68K miles on it and the engine mount seemed just fine. No damage or signs of old rubber so I put the original back. It looked like it should last a long time.
