Default F body alt bracket on a 5.3 question

Trying to install the fbody Alt bracket on my 5.3. I knew I had to drill the block in the location just below the drivers side head. My question is where does the 3rd bolt go(the center bolt)? Does it get eliminated? So basicly the bracket and alt are all held on together? Hope I am explain this right!!!!

Im not using that 3rd Center Bolt..

Basically they hold each other to the Block, and the Bracket holds the Pulley.
