Is there a spacer for the DS driveshaft bracket to engine block?

Finally putting my car back together and it appears the outside bolt hole of bracket looks like it wants a spacer, or does some other part go in there?

Manual was no help, but I dont remember a spacer and never found one rolling around my floor. I just put a bunch of washers in there for now until I can get a definite answer

Thanks
 
The Steady Bearing Bracket needs a Spacer if the AC Compressor Bracket has been deleted - If you are shimming with Washers I'd be VERY sure to Shim the gap up tight & properly, you don't want that Steady Bearing improperly aligned - I'd use the special Bolts & some soft Loctite on those fasteners too - & WHATEVER you do DON'T wring those "Special Bolts" off in the MOTOR - it is a TOTAL biotch when you do... been there, bought the mini drill.

Thats right, Ive deleted my A/C since then. I tightened the washer side first and then tightened the side without it, seemed to be OK, Ill check tomorrow again just to make sure. Thanks Buck.
