Identify this bracket

I'm rebuilding after doing head gaskets. Can't figure out what the heck this thing is? I would love if you could show me a picture of where it goes and in what orientation. It's from a 1992 V6 4x4 with A/C and Power Steering:

The bracket goes from the air intake chamber to the side of the head. The top of the bracket attaches over the lower stud where the EGR valve tube attaches to the air intake manifold. the lower part of the bracket bolts to a flat surface on the head. here are two pictures I took. Ignore the strange looking bolt I used on the bottom. Couldn't find the right bolt when I reinstalled this bracket and put a nut on it to shorten the too long replacement bolt. Haven't gotten around to changing it out.

The top of the bracket where it attaches to the stud on the air intake chamber.


The lower bracket attachment point.


I didn't have anything attached to the stud on the bracket itself when I bought my truck. The small tab off the bracket is where the plastic spark plug wire holder attaches.
Hope this helps you.
