With other engine removal projects we usually hook the chains to a factory eye hole, or if thats not available, find a beefy bolt that screws into the block and fix the chain around that making sure the bolt is tightly secured and cant shear/break off.

The rear eye hole is pretty flimsy. Find a different point. Use your judgement and connect to sturdy bolts and to locations which will help balance the motor during removal.

There are two eye holes. Besides the one near the passenger side firewall there is also one on the drivers side close to front of motor (look straight down). If not removing the engine, this front eye hole is the only one needed to keep the engine suspended. I had a chain going to the rear eye hole also as a backup but there was slack and all it really did was bend the eye hole forward.
