Hello Jose
There are lots of people here on the forum that really know their stuff, but if you are not specific enough with certain questions they will over-look your post. What bolts,where about.
Heres a bump.

these query's are really kind of vague but before you mate the mill to the tranny, you must align the clutch and plate on the flywheel and install the throwout bearing and clutch fork in the bell housing

Since your handle hints it's a 1977 I'll assume an automatic transmission. Starting with the back end of the crankshaft you will need to bolt the "flex plate" directly to the crankshaft. This is the 14 or so inch diameter pie plate looking thing with all the teeth on the outside for the starter to engage. Next you will have to slip the "torque convertor" onto the input spline of the transmission. Align the trans and engine with jacks, wood blocks and three buddies and bolt the "bell housing" to the back of the block. Note that there are alignment dowels there to ensure proper placement of the parts. Last step is to bolt the torque convertor to the flex plate. If you lost the bolts in the build, call any Corvette vendor, or your local Chevy dealer and ask for some new ones using the terms in quotes here. Any shop manual, even a Haynes will give the proper torque values for these bolts. Do not guess, use a torque wrench!

Yea I removed the bolts from the flywheel when I took out the new engine but now that I put in the new engine I forget how the bolts went back cause I know it isn't easy as just bolting the engine an the tranny together I know I'm missing some steps

You still have not said whether you have a standard or an automatic transmission... you've been given the basic steps for both procedures... more info needed from you to get better help from us.
