I have, but not for gaining clearance for the AC compressor, nor was I installing a serpentine belt system. I moved the engine back a full inch just so the water pump snout and pulley didn't contact the fans.. Some PO replaced the I6 with a 454.. They installed a long water pump along with the associated accessory brackets. I also had to move the transmission cross member. I didn't "slot" any holes, I drilled new ones.

Don't forget to shorten the driveshaft a like amount.
