He said its to close to cut with a torch, so he left it alone. Now I'm concerned about only having two bolts intact.

Has anyone had to deal with this before and how did you do it? Would an air chisel work or are the bolts too hard?

He said the front disk looks good and I have no excessive vibration, yet I know this needs to be fixed.

Any ideas will be appreciated
That should be the Allen head bolts = drill the head off, get the flex Disc out of the way, and the bolt shaft should slide out of the transmission flange.

Warning:
Do not cut through the drive shaft alignment finger.
I have used a Sawzall to cut through the flex Disc and bolts.
