Default Belt tensioner bracket differences

My vette has a L83, (its a 84 model) and the bracket where the drive belt tensioner bolts (big chunck of aluminium) has been cracked and its welded back together, but the tensioner doesn't sit straight and the belt whines when it's cold. So is the bracket same on the newer engines? Where can I find one?

'84 only part

The GM# 14055137 for the compressor mounting bracket. eBay likely or post a WTB in the C4 parts section.

Are there 2 round rod braces present on your compressor mounting presently? Quite sure there should be.

CC mentions a 5 day fulfillment so .................
