Put some bolts through a chain  (front to back of engine)  then use the hook from the engine lift (cherry picker)

This is what I would do:

Some small blocks have loops bolted onto the intake bolts in that area already for pulling engines. See below:

Are you taking the rams horns off ? If yes then that would work. Front and back opposite sides like I showed.

I have done it with longer bolts in the extreme front and opposite corner extreme rear of the manifolds. Just make sure you buy decent bolts, not Grade 2 junk.

If you are removing the manifolds right away after pulling it, as Ray suggested then do it now using those same bolt holes

i'm pretty sure that is how its designed to be used. if possible get hardened bolts that are long enough, but not too long. that is a lot of weight on the end of the chain.

Since you have the intake off, the 4 corner bolts would be perfect, yes. I've done it sometimes with just the two corner bolts.
