I see one in the back, but I don't see the other one up front.

Hello,

The front attachment for the hoist is on the driver side front of the engine. If you are facing the engine it should be on the right front.
It should be small loop on the block.

I have attached the engine removal guide for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.

Thank you.

I don't see it up front, with or without the compressor.

Only thing I can work with is where the compressor bolts to the engine, I am using one of these holes with the compressor screw, do you think a compressor screw can hold? it is a 14mm, I tried it with the replacement engine and lifted it a bit and it was okay.

That spot should be okay. When you start to raise it, just do it nice an steady and that will work. And avoid leaving it hanging on that spot for extended period of time.
