Useless metal bracket


There was a bracket attached to the driver side header almost right beside the AC compressor. Anyone have a idea what this was used for at one time? Just a plain old black bracket bolted the headers on the driver's side....

But why just one on the right side did they come factory with one on each side?? That is what I plan on using it for

Just hope it doesn't bend the header bolts
