Default flywheel bolts

Do you normally just reuse your stock flywheel bolts and pressure plate bolts when your changing a clutch?

Most people re-use them, but for the few extra dollars it costs up front, I'd go ahead and replace them! It's alot less expensive than the labor to pull the transmission, replace the clutch, etc if/when a bolt breaks!

Heck, I re-used the bolts that were originally holding my automatic flex-plate on when I did the A4 --> M6 conversion!! They're still holding ~6000 miles, a few drag races, and several laps around the road course later .

ok... after installing my LS1 on the 240sx, my mechanic said there are some bolts missing... but I didn't know what was he talking about cause the car is far away from me... what other bolts are there other than the ones that go into the Bellhousing? to the block?
