Default Where are the lifting points?

Ok, so I have never done anything that requires you to support an engine, and I am about to do the motor mounts, drop the crossmember and do some stuff while I'm in there.

I bought an engine support bar, and am now wondering what to do with it. It says connect it to the lifting points on the engine. I tried searching, but can't find anything.

Where are the lifting points on an 86 944 turbo?

Well, I am totally clueless, but that seems to be the norm these days.....

there should be a lifting eye on the back of the cam tower and another one on the front upper bolt that holds the AC bracket to the engine.

Ah! I know exactly where that one is. The one behind the cam tower is the same? Just a flat metal ring? So I hook the support brace metal t bar thing on those and then what? Just wrap the chain around the engine?

Or do I loop the chains through these holes and just use the chains to hold the engine?
