Default LT1 Bracket installation help

Ok I know this is going to seem crystal clear once somebody tells me but for now I am stumped. I have got 1 bracket running from the back of the alt to the ex manifold and 1 running from the bottom side of the A/C to the exhaust manifold. Where does this one belong?
Thanks
Roy

Default Anybody have an idea?

Anyone please? I am sort of frozen in time with my final reassembly here because I am afraid I am going to have to take things back apart. I have to have missed this somewhere. Although it is difficult to tell in the pic this bracket is about 10" long and the two mounting holes are in a nearly parallel plane.

It goes on the engine and exaust manifold .

Ok it connects to the exaust manifold with 3 rd bolt back with the bracket that goes to the outside of the A/C compressor.
This bracket with the crooked end goes on the bracket that holds the A/C compressor,on the inside of the compressor at the rear.
I'll try to take a pic.

OK cool I see it. Its hidden behind the A/C compressor. No biggie, I can pull that off in a minute. I was worried it went down below and attached to the P/S pump or something.
Thanks

Isn't there one that bolts to the rear of the accessory bracket and goes to another manifold bolt? I can't remember because I eliminated two of them due to headers but still have one.

Okay, I looked at it and figured it out. The one I mentioned (and still have) bolts to acc. bracket just inside of the A/c compressor and goes to the 3rd bolt. Another one bolts onto the lower, rear compressor mounting bolt and also goes to the 3rd bolt. These are what REDC4 mentioned and has now showed pics of. Then there's one that goes between the alt. and it's rear bracket and installs at the 2nd manifold bolt. I think I needed more clarification than Fastmax!

That is first class Maui dirt,It's been 3 weeks since I cleaned under the hood .
Our dirt is red and they drag T shirts through it and charge the tourst 25.00 for a shirt they can't clean the red dirt out of.
