Hi-can anyone tell me if the VR tubes (OA2),and the C3g get hot enough to need ventilation holes drilled in my amp baseplate ?
I would rather not have the need to drill loads more holes !

No, VR tubes should not get hot, if they are more than warm you are passing too much current, and the c3g will get no hotter than a ecc83 (for example).
