Default BB water pump pulley studs?

I'm fitting my WP pulley I'll be using electric fans so there'll be no need to use the fan. Can I eliminate the WP studs and use bolts instead? Anyone know what size?
The studs from the '87 BB are just about a 1/8th of an inch too long anyway. If I use new studs, they'll need to be shorter or I'll have to cut them. The bolts will probably be about an inch or so.

5/16, don't remember if they are fine thread or not though. Pull a stud and take it to the hardware store.
