pretty sure a few of the mounts are there.

from memory you need to weld on a couple of new mounts.
but its not overly complicated.

i hope for your sake you go and get a set of genuine mounts of a au and unpick all the mounts if you dont the bolts straight thro the rails will not pass engenieers report... you will need to put 3mm plate across the floor from underneath and build a box out of 5mm plate to streghthen the rails if you have a welder ticket you will be ok if you dont you need a qualifed welder with a checkable licence for the rta report
as the rear mounting points are a structule part of the monocoupe and are also part of the supension they will be hard on you if they are a legit engineer you will need to make new tank mount and new fuel lines from the irs as they sit differently over the irs cradle...

good luck you will need it it took me 11 hours straight on the welder and grinder to get the rails up to scratch and to strengthen the floor and i had hoist... as you also need to take into account the pinon angle other wise you will keep doing uni's

the bolts have been put in so can get the car mobile ( aka take it to work and get my panelbeaters to do the cut n shut work on the new rails as i dont have a Carliner measuring system at home so thats why im taking it to my work to get the rest of the welding work done
