Remove old Flathead front mount frame brackets?

Guys,

Those of you that have installed small block Fords, etc...did you have to remove the angled brackets where the Flathead front mounts sat?

I removed the old engine mounts and left the angled bracket for more strength. The motor cleared without issue. All I had to do was use a shorter oil filter.
