is the metal plate with 2 12 inch bolts between the camshafts resting on the chain the upper valve guide? can i take it off and leave it off? mine is metal not plastic.

Yes.
The other upper guide is metal and plastic, and is located on the drivers side of the head...but you have to pull the distributor and front upper cover to get to it.
And the chain slack is normal...the KA relies on oil pressure for the tensioner, so without the motor running and proper oil pressure, there will be slack.
