The anti seize is nice but not critical. The stock studs came out easily and they did not have any lube on them. As long as you start all of the bolts by hand you'll be fine. The biggest problem with aluminum threads is the first thread can get damaged easily by the bolt if your sloppy with it.

Then I guess I better be careful, huh?

Scramblr,
I see you are on an AFB.
The Techs in the Turbine Engine shop will have some. Stick with Copper if possible, if Nickel (exterme hi-temp) is all they give you, wear latex gloves and wash up when done (poisonous).
Its not for the assy of parts but for dissassembly later.
Stainless and Alum gall particularly where heat is addded. Typically the threads weld themselve together and your left with a bolt covered in aluminum threads. (Thats why they make Heli-coil kits).
In aviation it is considered "asking for it" to not use it on certain landing gear and engine parts.
I've never worked on an airplane. However, I've done enough wrenching on cars, boats, motorcycles, and industrial equipment to consider anti-seize mandatory on just about every fastener you come across.
It is so much nicer to work on anti-seized parts--even if the parts aren't in a corrosive enviornment, things just go together and come apart so much easier.
IMHO, skipping anti seize on exhaust parts and spark plugs is also "asking for trouble".
