They are both important. And i get things mixed up all the time. No worries, for sure!

Sleeving can be useful to preserve/modify bore size. I sleeve dry blocks on the side, they are very useful especially on aluminum engines looking to gain rigidity. i don't see this as necessary on a redblock due to cost, however, its entirely possible.
