in case your wondering, starting from left to right, top - head bolts (outside valve cover), next looks like rear/rear cradle bolts, ? not too familiar with the next bolt?, next looks like rear cradle, front bolts, next from left to right bottom - head bolts (Inside valve cover), upper plenum bolts (2 medium ones hold on bracket for cable control)(1 small one 8mm 12 point wrench/socket attaches to the small metal coolant tubes.

looks like your missing lower and mid intake bolts, valve cover bolts, waterpump bolts, anything else I missed?

btw, please tell me you have a torque wrench and the proper torque specs or someone nearby is helping you, and you will need some sealant for the valve cover,theres a small part you have to use sealant on where the lower intake and the head meet on the valve cover gasket surface, I prefer the permatex copper stuff (hi-temp) its ugly as crap and gets all over the f-n place but imho its the best stuff

I might not sound myself, its 5am-ish and im a bit cranky ;0
