I have an image, I want to remove the whole background and just keep my 2 subjects and print them on a piece of transparent vellum so I can place this over some lettering. How do I process this in PS so I have absolutely no background, just my subjects?

You could use the extract tool to separate your subjects from the background and paste the selection on a new layer then erase the background.

You may have to convert to a gif.

Are you using an inkjet? Even if the background is white, when you print white the printer just doesn't lay down any ink -- there is no white ink.
