I know what you mean dude. I just grabbed the pics real quick from ALLDATA. That's alot of weight on the front.

The Pics are good and for the rear, you can also use the knuckle where the lower part of the shock attaches to the rearend (behind the brakes.
I don't know about the center jack point on the front. I'd be very leary about putting the entire weight of the front (or rear for that matter) in one spot. I normally jack up each side separately.

no prob.
Here. This is a sixxer but it looks the same as a GT except for the exhaust. The jack points are the same.

the front center point on a factory kmember is fine its plenty to lift the car i have used it on a few diffent mustangs and other cars over the years. One thing a lot of poeple do that i learned the hard way no to is use the center point on the rear end to lift a car it is plenty strong but can cause leaks. if you damage the diff cover.
