...everyone should have a manual for their vehicle(parts store or dealer), and a local library should have professional shop manuals available in the REFERENCE section for free...make copies of the appropriate sections...read up and good luck :)
I am not sure how it could possibly be changed if the motor mount is not disconnected. I would be interested in seeing how it would be done. Chilton designates this job to take 5/10ths of an hour. Its a true 96 Buick Park Ave. 3/96.K. If it was a 97 Then you would have to remove the motor mount. I cant see removing and replacing a belt having to remove the motor mount and all that entails taking that short of a time.

Get a winch plate to mount to the bumper. Then mount the winch to the winch plate.
The motor mount bolt size for a 1996 Windstar 3.8 is cross-thread a 3/8" bolt. That is the only bolts that will fit.
I assume you're speaking as if the motor is locked up. If that's the case, you'll either have to rebuild it or order a new motor.
modify the drivers side engine mount and it is a straight drop in
yupp.

You don't have to. What you can do is take one bolt off the mount, slide the belt in the space. Then take the other bolt off and slide the belt the rest of the way. Remember to put he last bolt back on.
Yes, you just have to be sure that all connections are the same along with the sensors. If you need you can swap them with the ones from the old engine.
The car needs a tune-up, or the motor mount(s) are bad.
The 96 grand am does not have a body control module according to the dealership parts dept. It does however have a brake control module that is located in the firewall about in the center of the cowl area right next to the blower motor.
