What are these brackets and why are they mocking me? I rebuilt my 22R and got it in, primed it, and got it running. I drove it for a week or two, then decided to take the alternator, A/C and P/S pumps off to clean them up a bit and paint up the pulleys to match my engine. It sat there for 3 months while I pursued other projects. In the meantime I forgot where these brackets go and what they do.

As you can see from the old pic of the front of the engine, they go behind the P/S pump bracket in some configuration., they are the gold anodized looking ones behind/below th P/S pump pulley.

 

they look like the alternator support bracket and the idler pulley bracket? its the only thing that makes sence

 

First-one goes bolted to the bell housing and clamped to the exhaust down pipe.

 

first bracket bolts to drivers side of the transmission to hold the exhaust on, and the second bracket is for the top adjuster for the alternator.

 

x3, first is exhaust bracket

Whew, thanks guys! That jarred my memory. I realized that that 2nd bracket was for the alternator after digging through a few more pictures, but I completely forgot about the exhaust bracket. I've been running it without the bracket. Oops! Thanks again.
