i don't see a real reason to include them when you are just bolting a bracket to the engine block. if there were bearings or a gasket involved then i could see. the torque in bracket bolts isn't that critical.

Rule of thumb is easy on the front cover aluminum and you can crank down more on the alternator bolt (iron).

Just research the instructions to determine what you need and make sure you have it before you start. And be warned that installing the belt/supercharger is a PITA. You will hate vortech for the ****ty belt routing. I think I want a KB just for easier belt changes.

yes, very. if it bothers you that much though you can look up a chart that will give you a torque for any size bolt.
