You won't be able to get bolts in the holes (well at least not very far) as it will be a tapered thread for the oil line fittings.
Blake, you said the nuts were just spinning when you tried to undo the hoses, what ones were you trying to undo? The ones I have circled in the picture are the ones, that takes the entire nipple out of the sandwich plate so nothing can spin while you undo them.
If you are just going to ditch it, then the easiest way to budge the plate would be some persuasion in the direction of travel with a hammer on one of the ridges if you oil filter tool won't do it.+++ jpeg +++ 325280 +++ Upload +++

Put a ring spanner between the two hose fittings and lever one against the other to remove. I had the same problem with leakage on mine till I got it tight enough. The other problem you might have once the sandwich plate is removed is that you probably have a thread adapter screwed onto the threaded fitting that the oil filter screws onto. You might be able to unscrew it using mutli-grips, if you can get them in there.....
