>>>No, it's merely a question of semantics.   Both sides utilize a two-piece 
motor mount.   The upper half bolts to the block, the lower half bolts to the 
chassis, and then a single bolt connects the two, which are isolated with a 
pair of big rubber donuts.   Jack is simply suggesting that you have to remove 
the left side mount as an assembly.
