You don't need to trim anything of the gear box, can't see why your having probs with the rear mount either, mine clears the rack by about 10 - 12 mm.
What front mount are you using ?
When i done mine i just lifted it into position and bolted the front engine mount on, stuck a jack under the front of the gearbox so the engine sat level then jacked the back of the gearbox up so the mount lined up, easier to get it in position first then bolt the mount on.

That rear mount doesn't look like a Nova one for a start as its got the three bolt holes in, Nova one only has two.
-
thats the only one i have got in my garage i need a new one anyway as smashed the top of it off
-
i thought there was some thing wrong with that mount and a nova only has 2 holes and you need to cut a little bit away to fit the 3 bolt through.
-
alot of people have said to use only two bolt holes
