Default Which engine lift point for motor mount install?

I've got an engine support beam for raising engine from top - it has pair of hooks/chains.

Should I attach at the single lift point in centre that the ignition leads bolt to as they crossover (S4), or use the lift points at rear left and front right if can covers that look like they were designed for this?

Thanks, Adrian

While it is completely correct, without the context or the picture that statement just sounds so completely wrong.

I have a 84' S and I did the rear left and front right. I took the cross support off. And then set my lift at an angle across the fenders.

be careful not to lift too high; watch the airfilter, MAF, the infamous water valve etc
