Default when removing smog pump...

what did y'all do to plug the holes in the heads? i heard 5/8 bolts will do, i was thinking some type of plug and jb weld? i want it to hold, and look clean. i have a body lift and headers, so i don't want buddies to be looking at my headers, see some jerry rigged crap and say "man what kind of hillbilly s**t is that"

That I don't know, but on the I6 they are 1/4" NPT plugs so I would assume the same but larger for the V8s.
