Dumb question - which case half for the engine stand?

Just like the title says. I'm about to split a 1.7 914 engine as the basis for a 2270 (really dreading The Syndrome), and I don't know on which side of the case to mount the engine stand yoke. Should it be on the breather chimney half or the distributor half?

It's been a Looong time since I split a case and old timers is setting in. Glad someone answered his question.

But why? I forgot the advantage.

Side with dowel pins for alignment of bearings
