i was looking at it again, and i DID cut the right side didn't I????

i mean if i cut the other side off it doesn't look like it would fit..the side faces us is the side that faces the block and the left side would be pointing to the back on the car.

there is a spacer to seperate the two and I believe there is a spacer that seperates from the front header/exhaust manifold bolt too.

sorry dude, you cut the wrong part of the bracket. The other side has to be chopped off in order to clear the header pipe. The part that you did cut off would then get bolted with a spacer, then the header, and then into the block - a big sandwich. If you have access to a welding machine, weld the bracket back up. If not, your not gonna have your power steering, or if you can manage to tighten the other bolts down, it will most likely end up going loosing up over time. The same would go for the AC, because the bracket helps support the compressor. I took a few pics of my setup, I shoulda took more time looking at how much meat to take of the bracket but I was in a hurry... Its fine though and works perfect.

I doubt autoparts store. Junkyard, ebay etc... Save your old stuff and just weld it back together... or just figure out the dimensions and everything, and just make a new bracket... I dont know if you have the tools or capabilities for this, so your prolly better off going grave digging in the junk yard.
