Engine stand question

Car's at the body shop finally. Time to clean up and paint the engine and trans.

Got the motor onto the stand but realized I used the lower bolt holes in the oil pan. I need to remove the pan to install the pick-up and windage tray.

What bolt hole locations do you guys use when working on these things? Didn't apear to be 4 obvious locations to use when not using the pan holes.

Thanks!

I wasn't able to upload a pic, but the ONLY way I've been able to bolt three of these engines to stands is buy using the two lowest bellhousing bolt holes on either side.

I usually use the two outer holes on each side.
