I'm working on a SB powered A-body car at the moment. This one needed a motor plate and is going to run a remote water pump. I designed in a mount for a small racing alternator. The only trick is to use a Meziere water pump plate behind the motor plate. That makes it a bolt on setup without any machine work required to the stock housing.

An electric water pump will also fit just fine. Only trick is that you need to use a couple sets of gaskets since the backing plate needs gaskets and both sides of the motor plate. Bolts work fine but long studs would make it easier to put together and take apart.

if you left the hole out of the center you wouldn't need the Mezziere back plate & one less set of gaskets?

Ran a solid no whole motorplate for years with a Meziere pump. All you are doing is sealing the water off. That empty cavity in the timing chain cover just fills up with water that basically never moves.
Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

The Meziere plate is machined on the back side to block off the cavity area. It wouldn't matter if everything was perfectly balanced in the cooling system, but if one side of the engine has some extra flow resistance, all the water will go to the other side.

I made a small production run of the AN fittings. I couldn't find anyone selling these so I had to make my own. You can buy them all day long for Ford and Chevy motors, but I couldn't find anything for SB Mopar engines. I'll add them to my website just in case anyone else wants them.

On the race covers as in my pic there would be no need for the hole in the plate. 
but it still needs the transfer holes for the electric pump
