Default jake brake install questions

Im in the process of installing a jake tb on my 4l80e and I have some questions. On their website it doesnt explain if I have to tap and plug both holes with the screw plugs. Do I plug both holes at the rear servo location? Also how much do I have to take off from the rear servo pin?
Here's the link to the instructions

Yes,
in your case plug both of the holes near the rear servo. You have the old plate that requires plugging both holes, our new plates only require plugging one.

You need to slot the pin, so that oil can have an escape path from the backside of the servo to the case internals. Don't grind off the end of the apply pin on a working unit.

A customer posted a pic of one done on this forum a few months ago. Search under username jakeshoe and servo pin it should come up.
When I get on a real computer I'll try to find it for you.
