Re: engine mount
I'll throw some up when I've finished work, the left mount will sit about 2 1/2 inches further back than mine I think, but I got my engine aligned with the mounts attached, spot welded them on, pulled out the engine and did a "proper" weld.

Re: engine mount
Are you using the vitara engine mounts? If so then on a 410 they will sit below the existing chassis engine mounts.
Either swap to the complete 413 mount set up or cut the old mounts off the chassis and make new ones from scratch with whatever set up you want.
As for the height of the engine, it wants to sit so that the middle of the oil filter is level with the top of the chassis rail.

Re: engine mount
Plenty of room from the bonnet, I messed up my SU adaptor so had to cut a hole out the top of the bonnet for the carburetor to fit in, and the radiator needed shifting back a bit, but no issues otherwise!
