Default LT1 install in third gen camaro queston

I have a 1995 LT1 that I'm installing in a 1987 camaro, from what I've read and heard these motors bolt right into the factory mounts. Well, after looking at the mounts on the motor I don't see how it's going to work. There is a traditional bracket, I think it's on the drivers side and a mount on the passenger side which is the same as the frame mounts on my car. I hope this didn't confuse anyone but the brackets are different so what do I need to do in order to get this motor bolted into the car? Am I missing something?

The LT1 blocks have provisions for both styles of mounts. Just move the bracket location on the block to the other holes.

So, basically I can take the mounts off of the factory motor and bolt them to the LT1? Thanks! I would have never figured that out, thanks again
