Left over support bars
OK, I have a problem with these 3-black support bars left on the rebuild of my 92 LT-1. I have the one in place that goes from the A/C bracket to the header stud. I can't seem to figure out where the other two go. Any thoughts?

One end connects to the lower, out board hole on the compressor and the other end attaches to the second exhaust manifold stud - there are TWO braces on that stud.
The alternator bracket connects to the second exhaust stud to the back of the alternator.

Thanks!
Are all these really needed? I am running headers and don't think I can get two braces on one bolt. I had to thin the one brace and shim a littlle so I would have enough threads to hold good.

I didn't put them back on when I did some head work on my 92, no issues and now the AC compressor is gone so I didn't worry about any of those when I did my headers
