I own a 99 jimmy 4wd 4.3 liter v6. Lower intake is removed and engine is ready to pull. Where do I attach the hoist?

Put a washer on an intake bolt. Put it through a chain link and install the bolt in back hole on left side. make a cardboard "washer" to put between the chain and the head so it doesn't scratch it. Bolt other end of chain to the front right intake bolt so the chain is diagonal across top of engine. hook hoist in center of chain. If you have a load levelor, you would do a 4-point connection, but the firewall is too close to use most load levelors. Check the bolts carefully before you re-use them for the intake and replace them if they bend.
Don't forget to have a jack under the transmission before you start.
