Engine mount question

I finally installed the engine mount today. I torqued the bolts according Vans manual Section 5 which states 160-190 in/lbs of torque for AN-6 bolts. My feeling says this is not much, so I looked up other sources. AC 43.13-1B is listing the same value however there is one column giving max torque of 390 in/lbs for AN310 (90,000 psi in bolts).
So how did you torque the engine mount bolts?
 
torque

You have two sources telling you the same thing. A AN6 is not a AN310.
Do like they say.
 
I know an AN-6 bolt is not a AN310. The exact phrase in the table with the torque value of 390 in/lbs is: "Nuts MS20365 and AN310 (90,000 psi in bolts)". So still have to chose from two different torque values.
