Where to lift vehicle?

1990 Camaro...

Kind of a dumb question, but I've always jacked the front up using the lower control arms -- but now I have a two-post lift and I'm wondering where I can safely lift the car from. Everything underneath looks a bit flimsy to me.

I searched around hoping to find photos of a Camaro on a lift, but no luck yet.

Thanks! I guessed right, fortunately. The lift manual recommends against lifting a vehicle that close to the middle but I suppose that's the only option up front.

Good call about the UMI Performance picture:
