The engine is definitely NOT intended to be exactly centered on chassis
centerline.
If you cannot get the bolts, etc to all line up, I would suspect that your car
has taken a hit once upon a time, and the chassis got bent.
On my car, the crankshaft axis is about 1/2" to the left of the center of the
firewall,
but the fan pulley seems to be aligned with the center of the front frame
crossmember.
I am certain that this is by design.
(Obviously the car was designed for right-hand drive!)
