Not sure what holes your talking about on the intake.Is it the one on the length-side of the intake between cylinders #3 and #5 cylinders being the passenger side cylinder bank is 1,3,5,7. Do you have the cap for it? That's about all you need.You can make a gasket for it and it will be just fine with gasket material that's what I did.
Crossovers on heads will be alright.
Hei distributors I don't use but, I believe it's 1 wire to ignition switch.
Water pump if you have 2 spouts top 1 goes to the intake.Bottom one goes to the heater core or you can loop it to the top spout on the intake witch also goes to the heater core.
Make sure your fuel pressure is between 5-7psi depending on your carb setup.Get a pressure regulator with a fuel bypass if needed to relieve stress on the lines.
