Default What goes here?

I'm refreshing the engine bay in my 79 and was taking pictures of the firewall to document the location of brackets, parts, etc. Below is a picture I took showing where something was previously located. I suspect I may have removed what was there so I could access the front body mount bolt. Can someone please tell me what goes here? Thanks.

No, I think the flux capacitor is too big, it has to be mounted behind the seats in the storage area.

I am thinking a horn, for the alarm system. I've got a '78 in misc boxes and containers, so I can't say for sure except I have the same set of holes in mine. And if I recall that was a horn. The 2 main horns are up front.

Gotta agree.
That top hole is for the bolt, bottom is for the tab that keeps it lined up.

Thanks. I do seem to recall there was a horn there...I never did come across a flux capacitor though. That probably explains why the car is so slow.
