I have a 59 truck and onder the dash are two vents to send air up to the window. I recently got a trim piece that goes between the window and the dash. Should there be slots in the trim to let the air flow up?

no slots, the trim piece stands off just enough that the air from the vents is directed on to the windshield full width, attached with a screw on each end and some clips along the length [forget how many, just a few]

I managed to save a couple of my old clips. I got a set of repops, I have not had time to compare them yet.
I have been wondering if I will be able to measure the distances and have them all in the correct position, when I start to pop it in. Also doing this without scratching up the new paint on the dash.?

the position of the clips isn't critical, they slide around freely, easy enough to put that trim piece on - even without the clips

Classic has them

http://www.classicparts.com/1955-59-Windshield-Trim-Fasteners-Screw-Set/productinfo/32-121/

Once in the trim peice, start in the center and slide them to line up with their holes and then starting in the center just gently push them in working your way to each side. Finish with the 2 screws.
