The diamond plate one looks great! I had a buddy of mine weld two round aluminum disks over the openings. Looks OK.

Changing the valley cover for a carb swap is purely cosmetic. Leaving the stock part or bits of wiring wont hurt anything

The knock sensors screw into a "dead" hole. Meaning the hole bottoms out.
