Easier to remove later than to add, eh?

well, say for the part +/-.005 will work everywhere, except for a single
hole that you need +/-.0005 on size, and +/-.001 on location.. why
dim every single dimension when all you need to do is dim the one hole
size and location, and state that all other dimensions are +/-.005 ?

Use the general tolerance note to specify +/- .005 UOS and only
show the other tolerances in the one place needed (otherwise stated)
but still dimension all to 3 or 4 decimal places. They just don't need
other tolerances added as the note (UOS) covers that.
