Do I plug this hole?

I'm in the process of putting my motor back together and I've basically connected everything and reinstalled everything....but there is a threaded hole above the aux oil pressure sensor hole that I don't remember unbolting anything from.

http://www.shbox.com/1/aux_oil_port.jpg

it's the upper hole shown the picture on shoebox's website. Do I just plug this?

also are there any other holes in the block and head that I need to plug? This is the first time I've attempted a rebuild.

thanks!

The lower hole is where the 93's had the OP sensor. The engine mounts are quite a bit farther forward than that position.

I don't have a block lying around anymore so I can't just go look. If it's threaded, put a plug in it...it won't hurt anything.

Nothing goes in the hole. It is an old casting hole that used to be used for manual clutch linkage mounting.

You dont have to plug it as shoe said, nothing goes there, not even a plug.

I dont have one there and nothing spills out of it so your good the way it is.

No plug needed. It's a blind hole.
