Default L92: Cam sensor / Cover / VVT delete

I freshened up a L92 and and deleted the VVT. I got the 3 bolt cam from Cam motion and the machinist sourced the chain/gears/cover. I have been mocking up the engine on the stand and didn't think much about the timing cover and cam sensor until now. I'm still new to the lsx stuff so before I assume I know what I'm doing I thought I'd ask before I start final assembly.

The cover has a machined surface and 2 bolts for the cam sensor
The Cam sensor is a single bolt and is an ACDelco 213-3826

I was poking around Rock Auto looking at pic's and it appears some covers have 2 bolts while others have 1.
I'm running a Holley Terminator X Max (DBW/4L80E), skimmed thru the instructions and no mention of specific cam sensor.

Do I just run the timing cover/sensor combo I have or do I need to do something different? Also what bolts should I use, thinking I shouldn't go too long!

The VVT cover is different from the standard cover. It’s much thicker, requiring a water pump with truck spacing. You’ll want to order an LS3 cover, which has the Gen4 cam sensor mount, and will accept any water pump.

I wasn't sure if the timing cover I have is incorrect? I took a look at Rock Auto and it shows a 2008 Corvette with either a 2 bolt like mine (Brand = Doorman) and a 1 bolt (brand = GM) which is what I expected based on my Cam Sensor having a single bolt.

Just wondering if I can use what is there and plug the other hole. If not I can buy the GM version.

Also do I need the cam sensor connector with the Holley Terminator kit? Thinking yes but the install directions didn't make it clear, probably time to watch a few vid's.
