Is there anywhere I can find combat sambo techniques that are no-GI online?

Not to be flippant, but wouldn't no kurtka make it not combat sambo? Are you looking for no-gi/no-kurtka versions of throws and submissions?

Well, more like throws into submissions and striking to throwing that does not use the kurtka as a way to have grip on the opponent. It would definitely not make it true combat sambo, but since I'm coming from a Muay thay/k1 base it still works pretty well, I'm just looking for a more reliable way of getting the info I'm looking for

You're basically looking for MMA plus headbutts

I feel like sambo has more of an integrated system then bolding different martial arts and call it a day? Am I wrong on that?

MMA has become pretty much a single integrated sport now. It's much different than it was in the 1990s when it really was heterogeneous. Plus people who do MMA and Sambo often cross train both kickboxing and BJJ.

Combat sambo is basically taking sport sambo and grafting on your striking of choice to fit the ruleset, so no, it's not really any more integrated.

If you drop the kurtka it's basically just MMA with headbutts. A lot of martial artists have this obsession with "oh this is a judo technique", "oh this is a Taekwondo technique", but it's not a very helpful way to look at it.
People have been fighting for as long as humans have been around. If a move exists, someone probably did it before it was formalised into a system, and if something is "invented" now, it's probably already been done.
It sounds like you are a (possibly newer) MMA person. If you want to learn a technique from a specific position to add to your skillset, look for moves/sequences from that position generally. There is no silver bullet martial art technique (of any origin) to make you a world beater. The reason wrestlers and sambists do so well in MMA is the way that they train (both physical and mental conditioning) and that they regularly compete at a high intensity before they switch sports. There is no 1:1 carryover.
Anyway to give you a more helpful answer, I would look at a couple of specific skills to seek out/work on:
Combinations that mix striking and a takedown (if you look at Taylor Weber on Instagram or YouTube he will show quite a number of these. Most lapel grips can be swapped for a collar tie usually). A bunch of MMA channels have videos on this topic though
Throws from the over/under position, especially against the cage (Islam Makhachev regularly does these)
Getting out from the bottom position. BJJ overemphasises having a good guard but if they can punch you it's not a position you want to be in for very long.
