It's a drain port for the block. My 96 donor didn't have anything there (from the factory), but some of the later ones did so you could attach a hose to catch the coolant as it drained out.
This isn't the best picture, but you can see the brass hex bolt that acts as the stopper just above the A/C compressor mount (on the left side), and you'll notice that there's nothing installed into that hole:
You can remove it and not have to modify the 3.0 engine mount, or you can leave it and grind out a notch from the 3.0 engine mount to clear it; up to you.
