Default Support bracket

I have just rebuilt the upper half of my 1990 L98 and have a support bracket that is about 12 inches long and has bolt holes on each end that I have not been able to identifiy where it goes. It is a pretty straight support that I thought I would not forget where it went. I think it came off of the Air Condintioner or in that area. This is not the six inch support that looks like an L. I need some help on this one. I am racking my brain trying to figure out where it goes. Thanks for any help

Thank you for the quick response. Would anyone have a picture of where it goes on the AC bracket or a little more detail. I have been looking over the AC compressor and can't figure out where on the bracket it goes. Thanks again for the help.

Thank you 85 Mike for the photo. When I first took the engine apart I thought it was so obvious where it went that I did not mark it or photograph that side. Once I completed the job it was not so obvious where it went. Everything is completed and the corvette is running great. Thanks again for taking the time to help out a fellow corvette owner.
