Default AIR pump bracket removal

Do the bolt holes in the engine block for the AIR pump bracket need to be filled if I do away with the bracket for good? Just want to make sure they aren't tapped into oil passages or the water jacket.

No, just remove it completely and be done with it. I have three in my garage, lol.

For future reference, everything that need to be plugged, is plugged. There are no bolts on the LT1 anywhere that serve a double purpose of bolting something like an accessory or bracket to the block/head and plugging a water/oil passage. With the exception of the steam pipe bolts, but that should be obvious.

Thanks! I just wanted to make sure about that after the driver's side lower water pump bolt soaked the opti and crank pulley

Yet another exception to the rule...
I was more refering to the AC, AIR, acc bracket, motor mounts...things like that.
