Default Throttle body question?

I did a swap from an SOhc vtec to a LS and my LS throttle body has a broken TPS sensor. So i tried to use da sohc vtec TB but it comes with da Fast Idle Valve under the throttle body. And it doesnt fit cause the Ls manifold comes with one on it already. So i took da Fast Idle valve off the Sohc vtec TB, but it has ports opened. Will the throttle body be good enough if i cover up those ports with JB weld. I mean the LS TB didnt even have the Fast Idle Valve, since its already on the Manifold.

Use a Dremel (w/ a cut-off wheel) to make notches in the rivet heads, then you can use a flat head screw driver to unscrew the TPS.
