Default Motor Mounts need help

Hello, I did a search for motor mounts and did not find what I was looking for.
Here's my dilema. I have a 92 accord ex. 5 speed. When I drive it feels like I'm dancing merengue(fast spanish dance). When I put it into gear the stick shakes as well. My questions, what motor mounts should I replace?How many are there?

When you are sitting still at idle, is there a noticeable amount of vibration?

You have a total of four motor mounts. front, rear, driver side, tranny

The first motor mount I would look at would be the front mount. That is a common mount to have fail.

Yes it does, when I turn on the a/c especially. I know the front always goes out. But do I have to change all of them? Is it hard to do?

no, just replace the one(s) that's bad.

The rear can be a pain because of it's location. The front isn't bad, the drive side and tranny aren't either. Search though, there was some discussion on the replacement of the front mount just the other day.

Thank You. What is required a jack and any special tools?

A jack to support the engine and a 2x4 as a buffer between the jack and the oil pan. And a basic set of hand tools should be enough, a flew joint may be usual for a couple bolts but not required.
