I'm going to bet you find all of them in place...however it is possible to have only one holding it together for a while...some cars would allow that while others it would seperate almost immediately...better to be safe than sorry when you find "spare parts"...

I once assembled an engine...right before I put oil in it and fired it up I found 1/2 a connecting rod bearing...a new one....so off came the pan to find where it belonged.....

Motto is always look carefully when in doubt. Make no assumptions.
