Just wondering where to hook cherry picker chains to without heads or intake on engine....Want to pull engine and trans as one unit...

Bolt some lift brackets to the block where the head bolts go

I would remove one of the bellhousing bolts, replace it with a longer grade 8 bolt and a washer with it thru one link of your chain. I would do the same with one of the water pump bolts. Run your chain at a diagonal. Or if you have 2 chains, make an X with them. Most of the weight is going to be at the rear.

Those angle pieces with a hole in them you see bolted to the intake on OEM engines. Often over the #1 and #8 cylinders. That's how the factory installs the engine/trans into the new vehicle.

Then simply bolt those brackets to the block by using some 7/16"-14 bolts with washers into 4 of the head bolt holes.

Thats what I was thinking just wanted to make sure there are no spots that are a "no go" even though they seem like they would be appropriate.
