Default Help needed with identifying a part that fell out during radiator/thermostat swap :).

Hoping that someone can tell me what in the world this part is that I found laying on the ground underneath the engine bay. I'm in the middle of swapping an LT1 radiator in to my '98 and decided to swap in a 186* Stant thermostat while everything was pulled out. After installing the new thermostat, I looked down through the engine bay and noticed this rubber piece laying on the ground beside of the coolant catch bucket.

Thanks for any help!

I believe that is a radiator grommet mount. It sits on the radiator and the mount goes over top if it.

Looks to be one of the mounts for the bottom of the Radiator to keep it from vibrating around.
