Wheres this bracket go?

Its the last piece of the puzzle. I took everything apart 8 monthes ago and I can't remember for the life of me where this bracket goes. I want to say its part of the HVAC system, but not sure.

looks like a brace for one of the acessories, alternator, ac ,or whatever. shouldm't be hard to figure out, find a bolt, or bolt hole, with nothing there and see if it fits.

No, its not the alternator brace, its for the a/c (alternator brace would have one of the holes perpendicular to the other).. Its the a/c brace between the compressor and the front of the intake manifold.. There are two threaded holes on the front of your [TPI] intake.. The brace connects to the lower one..

ah ha, i remember now, thanks thirdgen88. but now ive got another issue, my lt1 intake doesnt have that hole. ive heard of people leaving off the other a/c bracket when doing headers cause it requires mods ive got that one, will i be okay without this one? but i guess i might have to talk to john about that one
