Default Engine stand mounting

So with the LS motors not having that certain passenger side bellhousing bolt, how are you all mounting your engine stands arms to the motor? I'd like to see some pics, if possible.
Thanks.

I'll be honest, the last time I had my engine on the stand, I only used 3 bolts.....

But usually I set them up like Cody's pic.

Thanks, that puts some of my fears to rest. I was going to set it up just like Corey and Cody have shown here. I was just worried about how orientation of the passenger side setup.

I really wanted some class 10.9 bolts to bolt it up with, but all I could find in town was 8.8 - it's only going to be on the stand for a short time, so I guess they will do.

Thanks guys.

Just make sure to support the bottom of it if you put a lot of downward force on it like working on the crank pulley bolt.
