I had to drill and tap one hole in the passenger side head and grind that bracket to clear the water pump. The driver side fit fine like it was.

What I did was bolt the bracket to the block and to were it matched up with the head, then the one hole that was missing I used the bracket as a guild to drill the hole. Just go as deep as the other holes in the head and then tap it.
