Thats how I did the one in the '67 Dart I built. With MINIMAL shimming, the factory alternator bolts right to the plate, and lined up well with the crank pulley. Very clean install, and you will never break it, and lots more room around the engine sides. I did the same on my '67 Barracuda, and only needed a 1/16" shim on the crank pulley to line up the belts. Moroso deep pan on the Dart, cheap Chinese deep pan on the Barracuda, no notching needed on either K-frame.
