Quick header install question

Was thinking about installing the headers this weekend and after looking at the stock manifolds they use 3 studs on each side to support dipstick and coil bracket on driver side and intake support arm on the passenger side. Are you guys going back with studs in these locations to have attachment points for the brackets or doing something else? Is the support bracket for the intake necessary? Would like to get this figured out before starting.

The intake support isn't needed, I didn't replace it on mine when swapping engines and it went the rest of it's life without any issues. The coil bracket and dipstick I modified to be supported off the valve cover studs.
