i'd pull the hood since its easier to pull the motor out with the hood off

I like putting my chains to the heads on the heads accessory bracket holes. But i've seen engine carb plates for pulling work just fine

I installed the engine in my 86 with the hood on, no problem. I would remove the wiper motor so you don't break it.
