That sure is a lot of holes! You're probably right on the roll bar mounts. You 
are for sure right on
the alternate seat track holes. The seat belt halves used one big bolt each. I 
*think* the shoulder
harness bolts to the inside of the wheel well with a single big bolt. Three of 
the holes on the
trunk wall should be down very low in the passenger compartment, one in the 
center and one on each
side. These are for the little "twistie" posts to hold the top boot in place. 
The rest of them, I
have no clue.
