Default What is this?

Someone please identify this for me? It's a disk like object between the pan and subframe next to the engine mount. It's only on one side and I'm not sure what it is or if it's just something that fell and is wedged in there. Sorry for such a noob Question.

Turned out to be my a/c compressor clutch. Not exactly sure how it came free and made it's way all the way over there
But it did. Probably a 1 in 50000 chance of it happening. I put it back on my compressor, got a bolt from Ace and everything still works. Cold a/c.

That's kinda what I figured, but I wanted to verify. I've never seen that before but wasn't sure if it was something to do with base models (I've only owned z's). Thanks.

Default AC clutch

It looks like the hub on the front of the AC compressor.

Recent or known AC work ever done?

I figured I would see what looked like a 10mm socket. I am sure there is one or two down there somewhere.

It wasn't hard to get out. Raised the engine about 2" and worked it out. Still trying to figure out how it was able to make it there on its own. Gotta be a 1 in a hundred thousand chance
