Removed manifold bolts, cleaned and applied copper Permatex. FYI- challenging to do this with carb in the way, much less torque them to spec…..

Question- I just removed the AC bracket that comes off the manifold. Couldn’t help but notice both bolts were dripping w oil. Dipped a q-tip in the bolt holes and there was lots of oil in them.

1) are these AC mounting bracket holes going all the way into the manifold?
2) assuming I’m safe applying permatex to these bolts as well?

Thank you
