Depends on which heads you got. Windsor heads have 13/14 bolts and romeo heads have 11 both sides.

If the heads came off an 01 they are most likey romeo heads meaning the heads will have 11 bolts for the valve covers. Your current heads should also be romeo, 11 bolts, so you shouldn't need new valve covers.

Try some carb cleaner and a rag and a little elbow grease.
