1967 dart 270 hodge podge

I have a few questions I need help with before it goes to paint get blasted. Can anyone help me with the driver side apron pics. Mine has holes everywhere and I can’t find what goes there factory and would like to weld up what holes aren’t going to be used before I put it in primer. Also it was an auto car I think but it has 4sp pedals in it. My dad has a 4sp and bell housing he said I can have or would it be easier to keep it auto? Someone did a crappy job I think trying to convert it lol.
