Need some Picture help

Getting the car back together got the heads back on but need some help. It has been a few weeks since I took the car apart and now I can not figure out where two brackets go :punchballs: (go ahead laugh I know im an a$$) memory is not as good as I thought... I believe they go on the passenger side but cant figure out where and how.... HEre they are

So if anyone can snap a few shots of the front of their 3.8 I would appreciate it

It's been awhile, so Not sure exactly HOW the top bracket goes on, but i'm rather sure it's P/S and alternator bracket.

The bottom one is the bracket you lift the engine out with, it bolts on to the exhaust mani. Make sure it's diagonal from the other side...as in, one os front, and the opposite side is in the back, or vice-versa.

Hope this helps! :D

Thanks I figured out the top one it is the ac compressor and air pump bracket. I got that one on already and I thought that the second one was nothing too important...

that second one looks like a hoist bracket to me.
