The shoulder points should wrap on the roll bar. See last picture: http://www.gofastlab.com/s2ki/product.php?...ctid=344&cat=40
You should really think about adding the bottom 2 points (if you don't have a stock seat, DO NOT if you have the stock seat) as a four point belts will tend to pull up too high on your waist without sub straps which can leave you with internal injuries in the event of a crash. The few times I've used a four point, I used the stock belt as well. Four points to keep me from moving around and stock one to sit low in the event of a crash.

I'm assuming you mean the shoulder belts. They should wrap around the harness bar like so:

If your belt does not have instructions, please be careful and wrap them properly. You can find the instructions here: http://schrothracing.com/info/2

4 points aren't very safe. I'd rather have a factory belt then a 4 point. Read the Shroth documentation, they explain why. Snap works everywhere except for the should harness. I have clip in's with cotter pins so they don't work loose. I assume when you say snap, you mean clip in.
With my 6 point, all I had to do was drill one hole for the right hand lap belt connection. Everywhere else it was factory holes or the rollbar

Restraint systems are just that, a system of components that must work together. I'm not sure that you have all of the correct parts, nor the correct experience to mount them properly. Consult an expert if you're not sure, since the price of incorrect installation could be your life. As Ek9 stated above, a 4-point harness (except the Schroth ASM) is NOT safe compared to the factory 3-point system.
In summary:
1. Wrap the shoulder harness around the harness bar and route it correctly through the retainer. If you have a clip-on style, usually the webbing can be removed from the clip.
2. The only safe 4-point harness that I am aware of is the Schroth ASM. If it is a "tuner" 4-point, I would not use it.
3. It is best to use a 5- or 6-point harness, but for that to work properly you'll need an aftermarket seat that allows sub-strap routing through the seat. Plus, you'll need to either properly brace the sub-strap mounts on the floor pan, or route them back to the lap belt mounting points. You will need the correct hardware to do this.
