What was the original use for the large hole on the flywheel side of the right (passenger) engine case?

Looks like it could have been a good flywheel lock location.

To me it looks like very good spot for a crankshaft position sensor...

What was its original reason for being there?

I have a few questions.
I get the install of the crank toothed wheel and why it needs to be there.
Is the wheel the same thickness of the washer that gets removed?
Is there a potential compromise of the fan hub mounting getting loose (like th other thread on here that bad things happened when it did get loose)

Second
Distributor drive gear stays in place, or does that get removed?
Seems like bouncy bouncy bad things could happen there?
Just did not see that in the video, and I did not RTFM.
