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

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.
I would have to see the head of the screw with the paint removed to see if it was a Phillips or a Pozidriv but no reason to sweat the small stuff. Leave them painted as original. There's a good chance that a Pozidriv screw is what the old Mopar guy was talking about when he said "anti theft". They are standard Phillips from the factory.
