Default Engine off center in a c3?

The center of my engine is about 2 inches toward the passenger side of my engine bay. Is that normal? It seems like the bellhousing is in the center of my transmission tunnel. Just hoping that my motor mount posts are not bent or something.
Thanks!

Perfectly normal, but it's more like 1 1/2" inch to the passenger side.

DUDE, go to my home page and look at the hood
I did for my car. I took a long time to make certain the scoop
was in perfect center. Then when I put it on the car I could
see the motor was off to my left and I thought I put the
scoop wrong, talk about pissed, but then I noticed it was the
way the motor sits
