Depends on the mount kit
The Himini (sp) ones I purchased worked very well. They are bevel cut to fit the aluminum mount. You just have to remove the leftovers from the old mount and drill a centered hole and voila. Good to go.

I think the concern is more that the aluminum wont hold up to the stress put out by stiffer mounts. Thats why people change it out to the stronger steel one.

This is the same issue I had when replacing my motor mounts with Noltec Urethane's. My friend and I noticed the the Aluminum motor mount did not have a hole in the middle to install an aftermarket mount. So what I did, was buy a used steel motor mount on this forum for roughly about $40-50 shipped.
Trust me, buy the steel mount because its gonna be stronger and MUCH less of a hassle in the end. Heres some pictures of mine
