allen, with the use of float A motor mounts you lose the solid crossmember between the frame and the flywheel housing. The drive train loses stability and bad clutch chatter can result. The frame is weakened and frame sag will eventually creep in. In some cases a wide gap will be evident at the rear lower hood corners. You won't be able to use engine pans that makes the model A run 15% cooler plus you will lose the ground between the frame and engine.
