I have never seen anything special just because it is aluminum. You could put antiseize on the bolts or use stainless steel if you would like.

 Thanks Chris, I got the correct bolts from AMK, so I will go the anti-seize method.

 Definitely, steel and aluminum don't mix well together and will oxidize.
