John,
From the lack of response to your question, I think it's fairly safe to presume that nobody has an answer to it as yet.

Judging from pictures of the parts involved, and from my own understanding of how things go together, it appears that one must drop the crossmember enough that the outrigger ends are unmasked.  I would expect that the engine could remain in place in the car if the engine mounts were undone and the sump supported by a jack.  One could then lower the crossmember as necessary and install the bushings.  If this worked, the job should take no more than 5 or 6 hours.  However this is all hypothetical as I have not tried it myself.

If you discover a method that works, do post something -- my car, too, should have these bushings replaced, and I'm sure that many others do, as well.
