Off a '73 350 Auto coupe. From perhaps the nose area.
Thanks in advance.

My guess it is a heater hose loop for a factory air car. Some model years use them, some do not. Check the C60 section in the AIM.

Looks like the bracket that installs on the air conditioning compressor for routing the heater hoses correctly. Commonly it gets removed and / or people do the lazy hose route over the top of the compressor.

Thanks much.

Previous owner stripped out/probably sold the compressor, dryer, and hoses (as well as the seats, distributor, clutch/fan, and alternator too), but at least left the condenser in place. So if I come across the A/C parts, I'll have the hose hangers anyway.

Isn't that the thigamajigger that connects to the giggly pin? I could be wrong though.

Terry,

What does it attach too; the compressor itself? A bulkhead? A picture would answer it all.

Thanks much.
