Wow. Beautiful. Thanks, this is the exact setup as mine and it helps. So, I circled my concerns in your pics.

You do not have a bolt where i circled. It looks like a bolt should be there(the bracket on the back side is threaded). I can't remember if i did or did not. if i did not and i am not supposed to, then I am not missing any bolts and my only concern will be my water pump bolts lengths not being long enough due to the a/c brackets.

Unfortunately I didn't recognize the water pump bolt lengths when disassembling. I know i have the bolts in the location where they came out of, but not sure how i lost some length to them. Knowing the necessary bolt length from existing setups like mine will tell me where i need to go to get this rectified.

A bolt does go in the hole that you circled. Back during my build I had not tensioned the AC compressor belt yet, so that bolt wasn't present when I took the pics.
