I usually don't torque trans pan bolts either, snug works. Turbo 350, I believe is also 10-12 ft lbs.

Make sure your torque wrench is accurate that low. I learned the hard way and had to pull the engine twice

i was figuring snug would work, that i will do and drive it and see if there is any leaks if so i will tighten it again thanks guys

While you got the pan dropped, make sure the rails are straight and the bolt holes aren't dimpled. Snug works, but the sealing surface must be good.
