<VV> powerglide questions

[monza63mo at peoplepc.com]

I re-read the shop manual this morning and discovered that the spacer I 
thought was lost is only found on manual trans.  The caution not to loose 
the spacer and diagram in the shop manual caught my attention but 
overshadowed the fact that they are not talking about automatic in this 
case.  Sorry for causing any confusion.  At least this will stick with me 
when I pull the engine from the other car today.  As for the vent tube, I 
guess I'll buy one and wait on parts to ship.

I removed the engine and powerglide today. I discovered that the plastic 
vent was broken off and that the spacer that's supposed to be between the 
front mount bracket and the trans case was missing. No telling how long it's 
been like this. The tranny works fine. What would happen if I leave the vent 
broken off and replace the mount bolt without the spacer?  I see that 
Clark's sells a replacement vent but no spacer.  Anyone know what I can use 
for a spacer?
