Cam retainer plate question

Hi, Im doing a cam swap in my 2001 z-06.I bought a new camshaft retainer plate,it is the new style with the recessed holes.My question is can I use the old bolts from the first design plate witch has the bolts that stick out or do I have to get the recessed ones?Should I even reuse the old one it only has 24000 miles on it with no wear?Thanks for your thoughts I really would like to finisdh this up this weekend if possible!!

I'd just reuse the old one if there's nothing wrong with it.

Personally, if you want to swap it, I would go that route as some of the cam plates with the countersunk holes have cracked during use. I can get all the correct part numbers if you need them but I would try some aftermarket parts places to see if you can find the original design.
