The GM sheet metal welds very easy without burning through, the aftermarket metal will be a bit more challenging to master.
After you drill out the spot welds and remove the braces, you’ll see witness marks where they were. Cleo’s are nice, but I’d just use #10 self drilling screws and/or vise grips to hold parts in place. Just test fit all the parts, even tank. When you’re happy with fit, tack weld and check again.
