Default intake manifold bolt missing the head any suggestions?

im upgradeing to a 99 intake and throwing on some headers. removeing the old intake i found the rear intake manifold mount bolt has no head. does anyone have any suggestions? the area is pretty tight. no room for a welder or really any power tools.

or is it just a like a guide pin? the front has a bolt and im sure its safe to say the rear is a bolt to.
thanks for the help

What you are showing in the picture looks to me like one of the two cylinder dowel pins for the intake manifold.

There are 9 bolts and two studs.
