Default im a dumbass

Doing the headgaskets finally on my truck and got the heads all torqued down and valve covers on then realised the smog ports are on the front. I switched up the heads on accident. Will this affect anything or do i need to swap them back? Problems can i just put the plugs in the front and delete the smog and be on my way? Any fast help would be awesome thanks!

These other guys are dumb asses. Just get some threaded plug things that the bolts go in. You may have to plug the back still. Heads are symmetrical.

Both ends have the holes and both heads are identical. Either get more plugs and delete the smog or move the plugs to the front and hook it back up.
