Default Rear engine cover torque specs?

On my 2001 LS1, working on replacing the clutch and found that the rear engine cover was leaking pretty bad. Got a new rear engine cover seal and rear main seal, found the torque specs for the oil pan bolts that go into the rear engine seal (106 inch pounds I believe) but not sure on the rest of the bolts. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Also what are the torque specs for the flywheel and pressure plate bolts? Thanks again.
