I will tighten the oil cooler lines, teflon the 1/8" port, and I have already replaced the valley cover. I was really surprised by the quality of the ICT valley cover. The valley cover bolts are really high quality and you can really put some muscle to them to get the nice and tight. Everything was high quality, the valley cover itself, the hardware, and the oil pressure adapter. I did do the afm block off rivets too but forgot to take pictures of them. I am really bad about remembering to take pictures. The rivets went in pretty easy except the last two plugs because they are underneath the cowl. How did I do it? I cut the handles off of the rivet gun enough to get them to fit under the cowl. The very last one gave me the hardest time as the rivet gun was tilted a little and went in a little crooked but I also used thread sealant as well on each of the rivets so I'm sure it'll be fine. So I'll report back after I've driven it for a while.

That plate looks really good in there.
