You could have have serious issues furthur down the road if you become too exuberant one day.

I would have been happier with one of the top bolts missing.

With the bottom bolt missing; there will be forces working to peel the mount off the block.
With enough torque, the mount would try to pull away from the block - concentrating a twisting force thru the two remaining bolts. This could cause the block to fail / crack / break off.

Don't laugh, we had a person in here about a month ago that ruined a block with a screwdriver when he forgot just one retainer bolt. Thinking it stuck, he tried prying the bracket off and took a good chunk of engine block with it.
