Engine to the WEST of the tail
Not sure if this has been discussed, but I just went back through all the pictures that have been posted and one thing I realized is that at least one engine separated before the tail of the aircraft broke off.
Look at the last pic in post #256 - you will see the tail facing the engine, and as we know the tail is reversed with respect to the direction of flight. So the engine is some distance West of the tail cone and tail itself. If you look at the pic in post #267 I would estimate that the engine must be about the same distance away from the tail cone, as the tail cone is from the tail itself.
So one of the first pieces off the aircraft was at least one of the engines. Where is the second one???
