The front subframe holds the engine on it as well. There are only 6 incredibly long bolts holding the subframe itself onto the rest of the chassis. The longest part of the process is putting the engine and tranny back into the car.

DO NOT reuse the subframe mounting bolts.
These bolts are only good for ONE installation. They are not intended to be subject to torque more than ONE time.
Get new bolts and torque them to the specifications set out in the service manual and in the sequence shown.
