Travis, you don't have a problem, your new covers are made to fit the the old (like 55-64??) staggard head VC bolts and the new (say 65 and newer) straight across bolt pattern. If you notice, nearly all sbc VC gaskets have double holes on one side.

Travis, you mean the filler/breather/pcv holes on the cover, not the bolt holes on the gasket? - won't make any diff on the cover holes, except you'll hafta plug the excess hole unless you come up w/ something that uses it - if yer talkin the gaskets, then like Evan sez, the double holes are so it fits various years

What goes to the holes in question? If I understand your question,you now have 3 holes,but the new covers only have 2.That means something won't have a place to connect. you might have to eliminate one hose,or maybe Tie it into another one with a T fitting.
