Jacques, Next time that job comes up, simply disconnect the front motor mounts and lift the engine sufficiently to angle a hose onto the inlet/outlet. Then as you lower the engine, that hose knows where it's going. Do one hose at a time, orient the clamps to convenient positions, and while you're at it, replace your mushy old motor mounts.
