It's perfectly normal to have a box of parts left over after a rebuild.
Not saying it's good, but perfectly normal. 
I did the cardboard box mock up thing when I did mine. I just took a box and drew a rough estimation of the timing cover and used a knife to poke holes for the bolts as I pulled them. It worked pretty well except for a corner where I got lazy with my drawing.
Seems like there was a bolt like you describe in the air conditioner bracket and also in the front top of the power steering bracket...
