I guess it's #2 because it has the steering rack bolted to it.

The part name is "beam, r.r".

You will definitely have to support the engine, because that beam has the rear motor mount. I am not sure how much other stuff is bolted to it. You may want to take the whole mount out with it. You may also have to remove the exhaust so you can drop that beam.
