I'm pulling an LX engine this weekend, and have seen the front lift point closest to the timing belt. Where's the second? I would imagine closer to the left side of the engine bay further back? I just didn't see it when I looked last time, and any help you guys can lend would be helpful.

I believe the second one is on or near the transmission.... However, I've heard quite a few guys prefer to drop these engines out the bottom... run the car up onto stands and put a jack under it or an engine lift on the top and remove the lower brace piece and lower it through the bottom... That's how I'm most familiar with doing it...

There's one on the tranmission if you plan on dropping it out the bottom. You can take it through the top of the car with the tranny too, it's just a bit harder I think. If you pull without the trans on, I'd get some cable and a cable clamp and run it through some of the trans bolt holes and lift it from that.
Otherwise you can use jacks like sir_nasty said, but be careful! I'd use the engine lift from the top myself...

There sould be several places on the block where you can attach bolts for lifting the engine out.
