is your car has an AC (aircon) before? I think those bolts are for the AC compressor mount bracket that was in installed before. Your picture also show that you have a missing piece of the engine for that corner and usually if the car has an AC before. You can find a front engine tin to be able to close that gap.

Does or did your 914 have AC.....If I'm seeing it correctly looks like AC compressor mount area

My 73 GB came from switzeland, no AC on the dashboard.
The engine is not the original one, a new one came from Germany 4 years ago to run the Monté Carlo historic race.
