Default lt1 throttle body

I bought a Holley TB but the air holes on the intake are smaller then the tbs would it be better to match the TB holes with the intake?

Assuming you bought a 58mm throttle body, you have to have the intake plenum ported to match. This means pulling off the intake manifold, tracing the gasket onto the face of the intake, and removing the material using a Dremel or die grinder.

You probably won't see much id throw it on and justt port the intake if you decide to do a cam swap
