What's on the second braket on driver side mainfold? Did search and didn't find anything informative.
Swapping heads/cam/oil pump/lifters/injectors and almost finished tearing down the engine for the new parts. Car is a 2002 T/A M6 with the stock intake manifold.
There's a second braket further towards the firewall on the driver side wiring harness of the intake manifold right next to injector #5. It's a silver square gizmo with two thin tubes going into it from the back and a blue connector plug.
And while we're at it, what is the round thing attached to a bracket at the back of the manifold on that same side (actually, one of the thin tubes goes from the silver thing to the round thing)?
What are they?

That's a solenoid for the AIR system, it controls that small vacuum line to the bigger round thing in back. The round thing is a junction for the hose coming from the AIR pump, and the 2 hoses to each manifold - it probably opens/closes controlled by that vacuum line from the solenoid.
