Default Crankshaft to flywheel dowel pin...do I need it?

I got a SOHC ZC motor to replace the old motor in my 91 civic. However, I noticed there's a hole for a dowel pin (but there was no dowel pin in it) in the end of the crankshaft that bolts to the flywheel. Is there supposed to be a dowel pin there? And, if so, the corresponding hole in the Exedy flywheel I got is smaller? I tried searching online but I can't seem to find anything conclusive as to whether a pin is needed or not with a manual transmission.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Another question...if there is no dowel pin does it matter if I align the hole in the flywheel with the crankshaft hole?
