Somewhere I have pictures from when we removed the latch and took a holesaw to Little G's stock hood on his '02 Camaro - he did front pins, and left the rear hinges, and it worked great, so I would imagine the same would hold true for an aftermarket bolt-on hood.

I'll look on my computer tonight and upload 'em if I find 'em.
