Smile Lift points - Model A

Hey fellas and ladies too-

I'm having difficulty identifying accessible lift points on my A. I am grateful to have a 10,000 lb 2 post lift in my shop - but the arms aren't quite long enough to engage the axles - even if the wheels are removed. As you may be aware, Ford placed several obstacles in the way of the frame. I've finally found some points that might work - but wanted to review if anyone has found better points. I decided to engage the front axle - far out by the wheels. Also I found some frame contact points - but they are in front of the rear end. I've attached several pictures and would love some opinions. I'm not worried about damaging the car - these are all strong points, I'm more worried about lifting safely. If the engine is in the car, I think these are good lift points - if the engine is out, I'm wondering if the rear end will be too heavy. Thanks for taking a minute to help me out and if possible let me know the lift points you have used in the past.
