Engine lift brackets for SBC

Hi, I am interested in getting original-like engine lift brackets for small block to use instead of using bolts in the heads holding chain and instead of a carburetor lift plate adapter. I have found pictures that show how the driver side front bracket is attached to the intake, but I have not been able to find a picture of the rear passenger side bracket where it is attached to the engine. Supposedly it is attached to a bell housing bolt, but that seems like it would be inconvenient for lifting the engine without the transmission, because I would have to disconnect the transmission and put the bracket back on. I saw a picture of a big block with the bracket attached on an accessory bolt on the head, so that made me wonder about small block possible attachment points. I suppose using another front bracket at the rear passenger side position would interfere with the vacuum can of the distributor, it looks that way. Looking for insight and possibly a picture or two. Thanks.
