It looks like it's inboard of the a/c compressor. Possibly the AIR pump bracket?

I just replaced mine a few days ago. It is the air pump bracket. Mine actually broke. They are not available from any of the parts vendors. It is from an 80-82. They are tough to find and are not cheap. I found a few on ebay and they wanted over 100 bucks for it. i searched around and found one for 50 bucks. You might be able to do a little better but Iwas in a rush for it. I have a broken one if you want to try and weld it back togther.

Here is a better picture of it. You can see it off to the left of the picture.

You can also try Paragon, ask for the Vintage Dept., if you are lucky, they might have one.
