Timing brackets

This may sound like a stupid question but on my 305 there is no timing timing bracket bolted to my engine. Does it matter which side that I bolt it to? My camaro has been modified and it's easier to bolt it to the passengers side of the block. Is the cool?

Look straight down/dead center between the water pump and the timing cover.

You cannot put it wherever you want. It needs to go on the upper driver side of the timing cover.
