If you have the water jacket plate off of the side of the block, you can look in to see the condition of the cast iron part of the cylinders if they are not cracked/split or badly pitted from the water side, then getting the sleeves out without cracking them is important.

I would cover the crankshaft with a piece of tin, then drill a 1/2" hole in the top of the piston (worst first, and 1/4" away from the edge on a side, not in alignment with the piston pin). Then I would use a single carbon rod in an arc welder to melt the piston on that side in short bursts of heat to melt only piston. This application of heat will likely free things up to allow the extraction of the piston. once the piston is out, welding four stripes of bead down each sleeve will shrink and free them enough (usually to get them moving with a puller puck and 3/4" reddy rod.)
Good luck, I'm sure there will be more suggestions tomorrow. JimN
