i have a set of the bbk bolt/weld in subframes with the seat support brackets. i planned on welding them in but my obvious ques. is what about the riveted plates in the rear. is it ok to remove these, the front section lines up nice but i dont see any way to install any find of subframe unless you remove or cut out this section. so you vert guys i need some advise.

Yes you need to remove the plates to install the subs. They were removed when I had my MM full lengths put in my 93 vert.

drill the rivet heads off and punch the rivets through - then go get the subframes installed. Some guys cut/weld the braces back in but I did not.

Rather than removing or cutting the plates,you could also just weld the plates to your subframe then weld the connectors to them as well as the exposed subframe.This is what the instructions with my Kenny Brown connectors said to do.

The plates where in the way of my subframes from contacting the body for correct installation. I had to remove them.
