Default 95 sc400 how safe is it to get the subframe

Alright I need to replace the subframe in my sc400 and I know there are what 2 other motor mounts along with the subframe holding the engine up,

Are the other motor mounts strong enough to hold the engine while i remove and put in a new subframe?

or would I have to get a cherry picker

I wouldn't do it without one, as well as something to support the engine (stack of old tires would work great) for the engine to fall on, just in case.
about a month ago, did one under a mkiii supra, and was skeert as hail to be underneath it (I do not trust hydraulic jacks. ever.)
