Default Help with bracket please (its near the starter.)

I'm doing a DIY clutch job on my Corvette and I usually take pictures of areas I'm working on except, of course, this time. Below is the picture of the bracket. I know for sure it fits on the starter side (passenger) side and has a small plastic slide to attach the exhaust oxygen sensor electrical connector. The part I can't figure out where/how does the bracket attach ? I'm guessing one end goes on one of the bell housing bolts and the other end ?? The two bolt holes of the bracket don't seem to line up any where with the bolts in the area. (I don't have the exhaust and the torque tube installed.)

Here's the bracket, any help would be appreciated

OK, I mounted the bracket every place that seemed to make sense and every which way I can think off. My guess is that it attaches to the bell housing at the 3 o'clock bolt and to the inside flange bolt of the catalytic converter exit. I don't see the need for it nor is there one on the other side. Anyway I'm going to try that and if I get a chance look at another 'vette and see if I can find it.

Anybody have an exploded drawing of the area ? (This is a 2005 MN6 Z51 if it matters.)

Nothing coming to mind right away, I've got an 07 Z51 MT so I'll pop my head under there and see if I can spot it. Have you already googled the part number to see what it's listed as?

All I can read is R61075-00(This section is blocked by the push pin) or I would search it myself.

That bracket is part of the transmission harness. Here's a photo of mine:

A HUGE THANK YOU!!! That also explains the worn wire loom (by the clamp on the head) down to the wires. To any one doing this job be sure to check that !!!!
