Just lift the engine out with the downpipe in situ. It will be easier to remove with the engine out of the car. If you're going to renew the subframe bushes get the Super Flex ones. I fitted them last year when I had to have a couple of my subframe mounts repaired. While the subframe is off you can check the condition of the chassis legs. The Club do these for £80 per side. I had an offside one fitted in 2014.
