Default Mistakenly used antiseize instead of threadlocker

When I reinstalled my new clutch and flywheel, I mistakenly coated the bolts with antiseize instead of threadlocker. I didn't realize what I've done until after I put the transmission back in the car. I really don't want to take the transmission back out, but do I have to? Thanks in advance.

By the way, it's a 99 trans am with a ram clutch, a fidanza aluminum flywheel and ARP bolts

I'd tear it apart, clean the holes out a LOT to get the antiseize out (use brake cleaner or something equally good) and clean the bolts as well, then apply lock tite and put it back together.

The good news is, none of those bolts will be seized
