they won't fit. you'll have to widen or leave them out. i left them out...don't know if it'll cause a problem or not.

thinking about getting an etd just to anchor things down some more since i had to leave those 2 bolts out.

which support bracket. The one that holds the manifold? The link to instructions show you how to slot the bracket that holds the bottom of the manifold. I would certainly do this, as it will not line up, and I imagine that the manifold would vibrate more and could cause it to become loose if you do not put the bolts back in.

I put a mirror down there with test fit and it seems to only be off by about 1mm if even that. Was thinking it would line up by the time you tighten the bolts (the spacer will squish a little).

No big deal though, it's easy to pop it out and drill. I'm just being lazy

i wouldn't have used the spacers. it seems to escalate coolant leaks.
