I used the AI Tag XX ability to get around this problem. Give the component (armor, etc) an AI Tag then make it a requirement on the mount.
Example from my Antimatter warhead mount:
Code:
Requirement 1 Description := The -AM package will work on most missile launchers.
Requirement 1 Formula := Does_Component_Have_Ability("AI Tag 02")
