On the topic of Fender Tags- what if you don't have it?

Those are Philip head screws.
So I can safely remove them when I paint the engine bay? If so, that will help when I paint the engine bay. A local old Mopar guy told me that the screws were some "1970" anti theft fasteners. I'll unscrew them to continue with my engine bay repaint. I didn't mean to offend anyone with my comments. I got some bad intel, and won't pass it on. Thanks and apologies to any Mods or members I've insulted. Paul.
