It's an important enough point that I'll make it publicly:

You don't need their style file to produce a submission for their
journal if they accept LaTeX input files.

Actually it's important enough that I'll say it twice:

You don't need their style file to produce a submission for their
journal if they accept LaTeX input files.

And once more in uppercase:

YOU DON'T NEED THEIR STYLE FILE TO PRODUCE A SUBMISSION FOR THEIR
JOURNAL IF THEY ACCEPT LaTeX INPUT FILES.

If your document strictly decribes things in terms of structure
and not in terms of appearance, they will be able to change some
lines before \begin{document} and have it formatted
appropriately.

Also, the most appropriate place to request a LaTeX style for a
given journal is from the journal itself. One can be relatively
certain that they have a copy, no?

The same goes for BibTeX, only more so.
