Which T56 bellhousing bolt does this clip go on?

There are six bolts for the bellhousing, when looking at the engine from the rear. Which bolt does this clip go onto, and what's it hold? I'm ready to drop the motor back in! I put the clip on bolt #2 (going from left to right) just to take the pics.

there's one that goes on one of the top right two trans-to-bell bolts but I don't know if that's the one.

Those clips normally go on both of the top 2 bolts of the trans and hold the wiring harness. On a 3rdgen anyway.

Of the engine to bellhousing or on the bellhousing to trans?

Bell to block. top 2 center bolts. The clip is bent. the 90* bend in it should be straight..

I would not use them, they are a PITA and leaving them off will not affect anything

Not what you are talking about, but I will also add that there is a clip that goes on the upper passenger trans to bell bolt that holds the vent tube.

Thanks guys, I'll forego this clip and be sure I get the vent tube clip in place!
