My only question is are the pvc valve and filler holes in the stock location? Can't tell from the pictures.

this file shows the side location http://www.yourcovers.com/valve_cover_images/11026_holes.pdf
this is the other info for pcv
PCV, Breather, and Oil Fill:
These small block Corvette valve covers have baffles cast-in as shown in image at left. These covers do not include holes for PCV, oil fill or breathers. For engines that require PCV, oil fill or breather on the valve cover, PML designed the casting to be thicker on the intake manifold side below the C where baffle is located. This area can machined with a hole. PML has a machined shop and can machine holes for $40 per hole, and holes and be either 1" or 1.22" in diameter. Please call to order if you would like PML to machine a hole for you.

Yes, the pcv valve and the breather holes are in the correct locations. For my '80 that means the pcv vale hole is in the front on the left side and the breather hole is near the fire wall on the right side. You can use either hole for the tradional oil filler hole.

I am kinda a ol school guy so I still like and use FelPro cork gaskets with Indian Head Copper Metallic gasket sealer.
Like the fellas mentioned dry is the key. I like to take a rag and spray brake cleaner on it. Then rub the head surface and cover bottom in the area the cover is gonna seat on.
It werks for me.... No runs... No Drips... No Errors....
