While installing my timing cover the bottom left bolt, with the 14mm head, snapped inside the block. I dont think there is much if any sticking out of the block. What would be my best bet for getting this out without taking the timing cover off? Or would I be fine just leaving it as is?

See if you can get on it with an angle drill and a reverse drill bit(NOT an extractor) -- and some PB Blaster or Aerokroil. Stay as perpendicular as you can; you might be able to spin it out.
I take it you don't have an AC unit in the way (yet); that's helpful.
Chase the threads before installing a new bolt to make sure it's still good to go.
Personally, I don't like leaving stuff like that hang unless it's to limp it home or to a shop.
