Default LT1 Engine Hoist Points

When pulling a '93 LT1 engine (no tranny) where do the hoist chains go?

Absent the Hooker, I use the 3/8" holes in the cylinder heads, cross bolted; driver's side rear/ passenger side front. On both the L98s and LT1s.

A friend suggested using the TPIS piece when we pulled my engine a couple of weeks ago. I couldn't believe how well it worked.

I've done numerous LT engine removals from chain on a shortblock with heads already removed to a big azz load leveling rig with intake removed and heads on and the happy hooker makes engine removal pretty darn simple and very quick.
