No. That is the Gas Tank. Look again. Lift head shows the lift point then follow floor as bends into tank tunnel.
That area of floor is double thick or more where meets lower front subframe. If same area shown above then that is drain hole between to metal layers. Hard to tell from that picture. More correct image... Note these are one 4 arm 2 post frame hoist on P-side of car.

88 Jack front/rear on page 0A-10 seem to have same images from early years but still valid... (edit it shorten image height.)

While FSM have control arm as lift points, I avoid using them.

Tough to argue over a crappy drawing in a 35 year old shop manual. To me it looks like the tank is to the left of the drawing, out of frame. The tube depicted is the rear brake line.

I have the largest Quickjack model. I have had it up on the quickjacks for the last 4 months. Check out the post below for pics. Use the yellow lift points in the front. You will end up with the Quickjacks not being paralell. The instructions say to keep them as paralel as possible. I emailed quickjack to ask them what 'close as possible to paralel' meant and they said they had no exact measurement. It is completly solid but I also blocked up some jack stands just for backup. It has not moved or shifted in the 4 months I have had it on the quickjacks.

Dammit, here's where the F$%#ing lift points are:
Notice they are INBOARD of the spring wound tubing. The spring wound tube on the RIGHT side of the CAR (left in image) goes to the rear brakes. The spring wound tube on the LEFT side of the CAR (right in image) is either the clutch hydraulic line or the transmission cooler lines depending on whether the car is auto or manual.
Notice that there are small sheet metal doubler panels on the lift points.
