broke accessory bracket, stupid mistake!!!

ok when i was taking my drivers side head off i made a stupid mistake and forgot to take the bottom 2 bolts out that hold the bottom of the bracket on. now it is broke where those bolts go in. i still can put it together with the top 3. my question is, do i have to get a new one now? or will those three bolts hold it on good? it is the bracket that hold the alt and ps pump to the motor. it is on a 350.

Get a new one, you have no idea how badly it truly is broke/stressed. A good stress fracture will let it fall apart under load (vibration).

Post an ad in the parts wanted section here on the site. With all the guys on here that part out these cars left and right, you should be able to pick up a used one for about $30-$40 easily. Try sending a PM to 82 Iron Duke or Thomas from House of Camaro. 82 Iron Duke has never failed me on having whatever part I've needed.
