Which exhuast manifold studs have items bolted to them?

This is a weird request, but I'm in the middle of a head gasket job on a 2000 3.0 and I had previously broken three exhaust manifold studs/bolts during disassembly and I'm starting to put things back together. As you know, these studs with nuts on them, that Ford loooves, are OEM only and can't be easily obtained - so I'm trying to figure out, because I don't remember, which of these stud locations actually have other items mounted on them. About all I can remember is that one of the driver side studs attaches to the oil dipstick tube.

My goal is to only use the old studs where they are absolutely crucial, so that I can just replace all the other stud locations with fresh, regular bolts. So if someone can take a look at their truck and let me know what attaches to each stud, that would be great .

Thanks.
