Aftermarket SS Hood Mount Problems! Help!

Ok I have a 1994 Camaro Z28, and I purchased an aftermarket SS hood to replace the stock hood. I bought the hood about 5 years ago, but am just now getting to put it on (don't ask!)..Anyways, there are no holes or marking on the hood of any kind to specify placement of botls, hinges, etc, and I bought it so long ago, I don't even know the brand... So my question is..
How can I mount this hood in the safest way possible? Any help, thoughts, or ideas would be greatly appreciated! The guys doing some paint work on my car said that the hinges for this hood are of a "vertical" variety and my stock hood has "horizontal" but this is all a foreign language to me!
Thanks everyone

no mounting points, sounds like a pin-on hood. bolt-ons would have metal in the hood for the bolts to mount to.

How difficult would it be to do the pin on...I've heard some negatives about doing this..

Good news.. turns out the hood is actually a direct bolt-on replacement. Body shop told me otherwise, but they were wrong..It has been fitted, painted, and will be mounted within the next week. Pics to come
