What mounts on this bracket by the blower motor on the engine?
See the metal bracket with the 2 nuts welded to it. I have the same thing on my 1981 and nothing is there. The blower motor mounts on the curved section to the side but clears the bracket.

That appears to be the support for the squirrel cage blower, pt # 911 211 139 02.
see illustration 108-11 (sorry I can't get pdf files to work on this computer right now) of the PET.

Okay I checked ...... I can't get in their to take a good pic but my car is diferent to most. I have an early car ( 78 ) so i have the "plastic" fuel lines. on my car the fuel lines for cylinders 2 and three are fastened to this for support with a rubber coated clamp to prevent vibration , rubing through , and contact with the blower motor.
I have seen blower motor shrouds on other cars with supports fastened to them that I imagine may fasten to this but mine does not have that.
okay got a couple pics. I think you get the idea. May have been the same with the later steel fuel lines but Pete would know for sure.

Thanks for the help, Iceman!
Here is a pic of mine with the blower hose install. The previous pic I snag from some other thread. Doesn't seem to be anything even near it. The one hose looks close but the shadow tells you it is a ways away. Does anybody with a later SC have anything on the bracket?

Houpty,
I have the same bracket with nothing on it. When I took out my blower motor and hoses there it was , no idea what goes on it and it may get the chop soon.

I checked a 1980 and it had the plastic fuel lines connected at that location. May just have become irrelevant on the 1981-1983 steel fuel line cars.

That is just what i was thinking . it was probably designed for the plastic fuel lines to stop them from rubbing against stuff. When they went to the metal fuel lines that part became redundant but they still needed the other half to mount the blower. They just never bothered to retool the part to delete a piece of it and just carried the same part forward that could be used for both instead of having 2 parts and having to carry twice the inventory.
