The instructions don't use the original bridge mounting holes as reference. It just says fill the old holes with dowels.

As always, all you ever wanted to know about Tele's and more, is right here!
All you gotta do is ask!!!!
all of the Tele's I have built have had the holes for the bridge so that it could be mounted and then you can string-line the neck and get it square.
Then drill for the PG after you position it using the neck and the bridge.
We ain't got none that here. There will be allot of measuring on this one and checking it against other guitars.
If Marty marked the standard bridge mounting holes, I'll be able to place an ashtray style bridge over the marks and then trace it. This will greatly help with the N-S-E-W placement of the bridge and pickup plate. I know this from the last one I did.
