It attaches to the back of the AC compressor and to the side of the block. It is very prone to break.

Your picture name is accurate, it is a stupid bracket. I have never re-installed the thing.

AC Compressor bracket to block. Not really necessary, but I left mine on there. It's just structural overkill from GM.

It just takes stress of the main braket by limiting deflection. You could have it wleded or make one. If you eliminate the A/C you wont need it lol.
