Default Engine Support Bar - Help Alleviate My Ignorance

I've got my sister's '01 Mustang in my shop at the moment, and, with the assistance of my father, am replacing the clutch in it.

I need/want to support the engine from above as I remove the transmission, so I've snagged one of these:

http://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb...bar-96524.html

Here's my stupid question: Where do I bolt the support chains of the bar to the engine, so that I can support it while I'm taking out the transmission?

Using a jack to help support the engine from underneath isn't going to work, as it's just going to get in my way.

At present, we've got the driveline and mid-pipe out of it, and everything disconnected from the transmission, now we're ready to pull that out, but need the overhead support before we can proceed.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

NM, ended up using the bolts on the collectors.

I used the bolt wholes on the front/back of the heads. Worked like a charm. I’ve seen some people use the bolt wholes for the exhaust manifolds.
