The L34's and A9X's had the extra two holes drilled through without any modification to the ones no longer required.  However, if you are up for some spirited driving, I would be tempted to weld them up.

I think you'd be okay. 

I've had a front end with four holes (the two uppers not being used) in it that I did spirited driving in, and had no problems. I left them like that because it was all in the car and a bit messy. It did not distort a whisker... no real reason for concern IMO.

But for neatness on a fastidiously built car, I'd prefer to weld them up.

But then you’d have two neat welds on the K-Frame mismatching the abhorrent factory welding efforts.

lol, somewhat true. But not if you'd already spent ages tidying up the ugly mess that the factory laid down.
