Default Odd C1 question ?

I am in the process of sanding and priming my C1 clock/heater console and seem to have some unnecessary holes I want to fill if that's the case.
Just to confirm, on the driver's side of this console there is only one hole and that is for the cowl vent mounting bracket, right ?? This is kind of what it looks like in the AIM at least.
Mine has about three 1/2" holes near the bottom where Bubba probably mounted his CB radio.
It will be much appreciated if anyone can tell me if there is just supposed to be the one hole before I start patching.

Thanks in advance Forum members!

On my 62, I have the bracket for the cowl vent. However, this bracket is held to the console via 2 rivets. These 2 rivets are arranged vertically in line with the cowl vent bracket bolt (one about 3/4" below the cowl vent bracket bolt, and then another about 1-1/2" below the first rivet).

There are no other holes on that side of the console.
