318 Alt bracket question

Im installing my Alt bracket on my 318, and I noticed that there is a gap where the bolt that goes through the water pump. Was there some sort of spacer that goes here?

The car has AC but it does not look like the AC bracket goes down that far or use the same bolt.

If you are trying to go non-A/C, then you will need the non A/C alternator mounting bracket and proper crank and water pump pulleys... They are available through Mancini Racing or bouchelon performance...
