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.

The engine is out. To all the Porsche purists this looked unsafe and unorthodox. With that said, the removal went smoothly, there was zero movement on the car with it on the ramps and jack stands.

On a separate topic, my 4 year old grandson was checking out the replacement motor. He handed me a hose and said "look what I found." Can someone identify the hose and its location? I did a side-by-side comparison to my old motor and still couldn't find it. HELP, please.
