usually I will pull the drivers side mount and then place one chain on the stud and hold it on with a nut, and then use one bolt from the passenger side tranny mount, but since you aren't pulling the tranny with the engine....ya might want to use one of the transmission bolts in the block where the tranny would normally bolt up to. that should do it for ya.

Just take out the tranny and engine together, it's much easier.

Much easier to take them out together.

I used a tranny mount bolt stuck in one of the threaded spots on the front, and then the starter bolt for the other side and attached the chain to those.

you could always drop the engine out of the car. but thats really if you have acces to a car hoist.

I usually wrap the chain around the engine a couple times. Wrapping around helps because then the engine won't dip on one side. I found out if you use the lifting points on the engine, when your lowering it the tranny side will lean farther down then the engine and it makes it harder lining up the mounts.
