MA Hoist points on an FC 13B

My 1987 RX-7 GXL's oil pan gasket has gone bad, and I will need to replace it at some point. The engine is the stock 13B N/A. I already have the part I need on order. I know that I will need to support the engine with an engine hoist in order to undo the engine mount bolts and get to the oil pan. I've never used an engine hoist before, so my questions are:

-Where should I put the chains on the engine so that it's supported correctly? Pictures will help.
-Besides the fan and the battery, will I need to disconnect anything else?
-Besides the oil, will I need to drain any other fluids from the engine?

Thanks in advance.
