I lift one side at a time (at the pinch weld, behind the front tire) to place the car on jack stands. There are other points, such as the rear diff. I have one puck with a groove cut through the center (1/4 inch cut made with a hack saw) to use with a floor jack on the pinch weld to lift the car. Depending on the jack stands you have, you may or may not need hockey pucks (no need to cut) for them. Find any place adjacent to the pinch weld that's part of the frame (metal of course, and towards the inside of the pinch weld) and that'll be a safe place for your jack stands.
