Default 000 14fret shortscale acoustic build.

First post here.
This is Fran from Spain, long time amplifier/loudspeaker builder and about to build my first acoustic guitar. Thought I could share the process here, and ask for your help here and there.

It's going to be a 000 sized 14-fret to body guitar, with 24.9'' scale and 1 11/16 nut width. Adirondack top, indian rosewood back and sides.

Just finished gluing the top and back of the guitar and will start bracing both parts the next few days.

The problem is I'm following the plans found here:

They're great and detailed, but correspond to a long scale guitar. I can calculate the bridge's new position but, what about the bridge plate under the top.
Should I modify the bracing pattern somehow to suit for the shorter scale?

Quite at a loss here, I'm afraid. Any suggestion will be strongly appreciated!
