I took out 6 bolts none of which held a sway bar link. I wonder if my car is missing something

Strange. I can't see why yours would be different than mine.

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
AFAIK, the metal skid plate doesnt necessarily keep the sways attached, it is a structural component that adds rigidity to the subframe, so if it is removed it should be replaced and new bolts that are torqued properly are supposed to be used.
