Engine swap experts needed!!

I'm at the point where i'm a few hours away from sticking the new engine in my vette and i just re-dropped the subframe....... and i found THIS lying on the front of it. Where does it go? I can't find anything that looks like it should be missing something that looks like it... This is where i found it... and of course, the piece in question.

Help?

Can't help with the part right now but I would suggest taking some time to cleanup some of the parts before I put it back together!

Good luck with the install!

Looks like a bushing for end links on the sway bars

It looks like one of the alternator bracket bushings, but it is on the wrong side of the subframe.

Are there any bushings in the bracket for the A/C compressor?

I'll check the swaybar links shortly.
