I know the idea of only the threads of a plug holding the engine may sound scary but it works well at least for me.
Put the lifting eye in the third hole without the transmission attached. Use the fourth hole with the transmission attached. With the transmission attached, the brake and clutch pedals have to come off first to clear the steering column, and also the shifting tower has to come off too to clear the firewall.
