The lower of the two is the factory location. The one above it might be tied into the same oil passage so you'll want to make sure it's plugged with a sealant. Edit: Yes it looks like a course thread bung, so it may be blind as well. Try probing it with an awl.
Also, ditch that Fram...they work about as good as a beer can stuffed with coffee filters. If you want cheap quality filters, get a basic WIX Filter at any Napa auto parts stores for a few bucks.

WIX filters are one of the best low cost filters available. Napa has them, but don't spend the extra on their Gold version...it's just a higher priced filter, that's exactly the same.

The upper hole looks like it's for the clutch bell crank, or Z-bar pivot, as most folks like to call it, when a small block is used in other than Corvettes. Most non-Corvettes have the engine mounted over the front axle, and with that forward placement, the Z-bar has to be mounted further back relative to the placement in a Corvette.
