They are in all DOHC plenums. You will want to put those back in, they are there for a reason. Now that reason I do not know, but if you leave them out let me know how the car runs.

that's weird. I've never seen on any of the two n/a 3s I've own or even my vr4. As for the plenum, you could try to use a flat head drive to pry it if that works. There shouldn't be any rtv or anything on there, just a thin gasket.
