In the event the transmission shifts, do not attempt to use the tapered tip bolts to realign the mounts with the female threaded holes in the bottom of the car. Only start the screws by hand; if you attempt to force drive them into place with a wrench or socket there is a good chance you will cross thread and strip the female threads. They are not easy to repair. If the shifting occurs, buy or borrow an inexpensive bottle jack and use that to support the front of the transmission while you extract the main jack. Put anti-seize on the mount bolt threads.
