How hard is to the remove the bung that screws into the block? Might have to get a new one but I sure you can.

I'd probably go hammer and punch in the square holes, or maybe a pair of vice grips if you can get a good lock on.

Not hard. Apperently they stuck a hex bolt/socket and ratchet. I coulda done that just wasn't too sure if it was made to come out like that. Thanks all for the help.

Side note., car ended up having a carb legal sticker for the C.A.I. (hidden) and was able to do the smog all at once. It passed of course!

Good shop aswell. They only charged me for the smog and oil change.
