Yes it can, but you don't need to remove the engine, just raise it slightly.

Here are the best motor mount threads:

Just did it last week. Motor had to be raised enough for access. Damn engine mount shield and cooling lines for the turbo are in the way to wrench around for the driver's, however the bolts can be accessed. Complete removal is not necessary. Dropping the exhaust out of the way helped alot, plus gave me a chance to install my downpipes. Don't forget to pop in a new transmission mount as well and check out the flex disc attached to the transmission and center bearing.
