Down South Thing
I have a railroad crosstie ( you can buy them most anywhere) cut into 4 pieces....I put these under the car in case the jack stand were to fail....the wood would stop the car....I would probably get hurt if it fail.....but the car would go no further. I also have a large piece of Tygon Hose cut in half and on the top of each jack stand to have some bite and not mar the bottom of the car. Redundancy in your friend here

I didn't notice before but the front is on ramps, so the angle overall may not be as bad as the photo makes it out. I am sure he can tell if the car feels good and stable.
Thought I would still put a choke under the front tire.
Now does anybody know where he should be connecting to the engine to lift it out?

I appreciate all the safety tips. Since the car was initially jacked up, there are additional supports to prevent the car from moving. I have taken every precaution to ensure the car will not fall on me. Additionally, those are 3 ton jacks with a 12" foot print, they aren't moving.
Back to the original question, what do I attach the engine support bar too?

Well not sure you have seen this DIY on engine removal, only issue is they use a jack to lower it. But thought if you hadn't seen it has losts of other good info.
https://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/Boxster_Tech/15-ENGINE-Engine_Drop/15-ENGINE-Engine_Drop.htm
Just a suggestion would use a couple of nylon Tie down straps and wrap around the bottom of the engine maybe cross like an x on the bottom. I haven't done it, so just trying to add some helpful suggestions.

The throttle body is attached to plastic.
So no, I wouldn’t attach a lift there.
I’m not certain where I would attach one.
I normally drop from below without a cherry picker.

The loop is actually bolted to the engine block. It doesn’t put any stress on the throttle body.

My first guess, without running to a Boxster to double check, is Power Steering Reservoir vent/drain hose.
Congrats on your progress!

Yep, the infernal hose that pours PS fluid right on top of the engine into all sorts of deep nooks and crannies, that are basically impossible to get to without pulling the intake crossovers!

Can a longer hose be substituted to vent the PS fluid elsewhere?

Congrats on getting it out.
When I did mine, I had the tip bolted up to the motor. Was amazing to me how easy it was to get the assembly properly lined up and raised into the bay.

Although, I recently pulled the tranny off a Subaru outback with a floor jack under the tranny and a cherry picker to lift the car enough to drag the tranny out. You work with what you have LOL.
