AC bracket for Axle carrier

[bewstin]

So the last peice of the puzzle for my AWD swap (which i'm doing this weekend) is the AC bracket for my intermediate shaft the bolt up to. I misplaced mine somehow when i did my rebuild, i thought i threw it in with all my junk spare parts after deleting the AC all together. So i understand the whole compatibility with the different years and brackets, the intermediate shaft and bracket from my donor car is a 97-99 style. Now my question is, will it be possible to not run the bracket at all and just use washers instead?? From my understanding the driverside bolt hole on the axle bracket uses the A/C bracket as a spacer and bolts to the block, and the passanger side hold bolts directly to the block, correct?

I've always just used washers/spacers on AC deleted cars. Works fine, just make sure you get the spacing correct and use the right bolts.

If I remember correctly, there is actually a part number for the spacer you would need. I'll see if I can find that number again
