68 AC and PS install to block - spacer?

During my mockup, I noticed noticed a gap where the AC bracket that holds the pulley meets the PS bracket at the block. Small gap, more like a thick washer. Is that true? I didn't exactly tighten every bolt up, as it was just a mock run, but it gave me pause.

Dropped the engine in yesterday! Looking forward to being on the other side of that mountain.

Thanks again, Chris!

 Compressor bracket leg connects to same bolt as upper PS bracket bolt hole.

Yes, but just to confirm - there is no spacer that goes between the block and the upper PS bracket? Outside in is AC compressor bracket leg -> upper PS bracket -> block, correct?

Thanks!

No spacer there. Just the compressor bracket leg and the PS bracket .

The spacer is used if you DON'T have a/c.
