Default Need Help!

I'm nearly completion on a total restoration of my '72 LT1 coupe. At this point I should have the factory assembly manual memorized but I'm trying to find the correct home for three parts (see attached link).

Any insights would be most appreciated.

You can open the link by "right clicking" your mouse and selecting the "open link" option. Please let me know if I should post the image in a different fashion.

Thanks for letting me know.

I can honestly say I have never seen any of those - can you say for certain they were once on the car or were they in a "parts box" somewhere ?

I believe that these parts did come off my car. Perhaps someone will recognize them.

Thanks for your reply.

The part on the extreme right is the rear engine lift lug. Bolts to the engine block through the RH upper corner of the bellhousing.
Dunno about the others.

I'm pretty sure the one on the far left is a ground strap that mounts on the backside of the dash between the tachometer and the speedometer.
I have no idea what the other parts are.

steering column shim/mount
lift hook
not quite sure what the other is

after some reflection, the curved piece maybe related to the blower motor.
I know I have come across it.

Thanks for your help. It's a great example of value of this site. Hopefully, someone recognizes the middle part which has a "P" stamped on one side.
