Help with motor mount replacement

[Mr Flat Six]

Okay so I need help with one more thing. I'm in the process of installing the motor mount back into the car. My old carrier assembly only used 3 bolts but this new one uses 4 bolts. The bolt is physically there but it is too short by about 1/4 inch. Would it be acceptable to install it without the top bolt until I can get one or would that just be stupid? Should I put this off for a few days or try my luck at Lowes and see if they or anybody else has the size I need? Anybody know the part number if I decide to order it online?

See paragraph #3 in the Pelican DIY. It discusses your situation. Apparently you have an early year 97-98 car?
