alt. bracket?

ok, on my 88 150, 2 of my bolts sheared off in the head. i got one re-threaded but cant get the other. my question is, will 2 bolts(1 at the 10:00 position and the other at the 7:00 position)plus the smog pump bracket bolt(underneath) hold my alt so i can drive it 30 miles to my shop where i work?i really need to get this truck out of the woods and back to the city. any info would be greatly appreciated. thanks

It should be OK. 3 bolts holding out of 4 should be fine. You could probably go a lot farther than the 30 miles. I'd go for it.
