Help with firewall patching. what all can i patch? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys, i am trying to get my firewall all cleaned up and rid of the unnecessary holes. I have patch all the '70 gas pedal holes since i will be using the 72 setup. I have attached numbered pictures, if anyone can tell me what numbers to keep/remove or at least what they are for, i would greatly apreciate it. Thanks in advance!

This cab is going to be a donor to replace my rusty 72

I know some of the smaller holes are for the insulation padding, but cant remember which. Are they in the same places on the 70 and 72?

thanks for those images. just what i needed. Looks like i filled the tail section wire hole when i shouldnt have. But looking at my Painless wire harness, it looks like the tail wire comes through the main fuse block large square hole. So i may not need to cut that back open.
