well one is missing from my new block, can I just take one from the old block or maybe just use a bolt instead?

Take one from your old block. And wrong section, dude.

yeah sorry about that.

Are they screwed in or pressed, how do I take them out?

Moved... and they are pressed in, and a bitch to get out.

Went to maywood mitsu (a couple miles) and sure enough the closest dealer that has it in stock is in PA. So no other option but to take it out. :x

They aren't that hard to get out, I don't know why guys are scaring you away from doing it. Grab it with vice grips and twist it back and forth as you gently pull up on it. Go easy with the vice grips so you don't destroy the dowel.
