LT1 Motor mount question

I am currently replacing my stock 305 in my 1989 T/A with a 1995 350 lt1
The problem I am having is the passenger side motor mount is to far back causing to engine to set in shifted to the passenger side. i used to engine mounts off the orginial 305 engine. I seen in my service manual that are other predrill holes for the frame mount, I was not sure if i needed to move the frame mount.
thanks michael

Its on the wrong holes, trust me, look a little farther forwards and you will see. You need an A/C delete pulley as well.

Most likely you have the mount on the engine side bolted to the wrong holes. I attached a pic from the hpsalvage web site. It shows the proper location.

unless he plans to keep a/c. in which case he would have to modify the mount
