Pulling engine question

I need to pull my ej255 out. On the intercooler bracket on the passenger side the bolt towards the middle of the block was snapped off by the previous owner. Will it be alright to using the bracket to lift the motor out when it's only being hold on by one bolt?

I always lift my motors out using the Intake manifold bolts and one of these guys.

Sorry! Something went wrong!

I've also done it with just a chain with no issues.
Would it be fine using the bracket with the one bolt? I'm trying to drill it out to tap it but it looks like I'm going off center. This is the reason why I didn't want to drill it out on the car.

Dude, intake manifold gaskets are like $5. If you're too broke to buy them then use literally ANY bolt that screws into the block or heads. Just pick a couple.

You don't need fancy L shaped brackets. You can slam a bolt through link of chain.
