The plates are still there under the spot welded L-bracket. The little tabs on those plates were removed, presumably to accommodate the new L-bracket. I don't believe the tabs did anything other than make it a little easier to slide the hinge into their slots.
As mentioned, the plates just need to be tapped.
As for the c-pillar, my 83SC didn't have these plates. Some have used riv-nuts in the through-holes in lieu of the missing threaded plate. It wouldn't seem to allow for any adjustment but maybe not necessary.
The early interior/exterior trim pieces need to be sourced as well.
Hope that helps.
