Yea you can reuse the bolts and gaskets. Running around w/o the rear o2 simms will not affect performance it'll just cause the SES light to come on. So if your bro has to run around w/o the simms for alil bit it'll be ok.
Also you'll need some o2 extensions to make the front o2's fit.

U can use the stock bolts but go out to gm and get new gaskets so they dont leak. Soak the bolts solvent to get all of the old gunk off.
