Yes, you need some kind of grinding or cutting wheel to deal with the flange bolts. And I would fabricate some sort of attachment where the broken one was. I think it stiffens the front part of the exaust so it won't tend to flex & crack at the manifold flange. (But I've seen them missing for years too, so I'm not sure of their importance.)
