Default 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.

Looks odd but works fine.

I usually use the two outer holes on each side.
