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.

Also DO NOT torque the long bottom bolt (the ones marked in green on the picture) to 18 pounds... just broke one off trying to do that, good thing i used alot of rtv and there is no leak. I say just go till tight
