Intersting. I don't think that should be an issue, but I'm not an engineer. There should be 6 or 7 other bolts mounting the trans to the engine, right? I can't imagine there is that much torque on the oil pan, but again, I'm not an engineer.

It wont matter. People running older trans like TH350/400 loose both pan bolts and an upper BH bolt and the trans doesnt snap off

Any other clearance issues on the front end, using stock LSA accessory drive I assume? I'm doing basically the same in my 72. What hood are you using? I also don't think that one bolt is going to give you any trouble if missing.
