Any idea on what this bracket is for? I forgot to label it, but I think it may be associated with the front axle assembly. It's from a base model '85 wagon w/ AC, in case that helps narrow things down.

It's for the AC compressor. If you were looking at the front of the AC compressor pulley, it would go from the top right hole on the compressor down to the front AC compressor bracket hole. I think I have a picture attached so you can see it.

Ah! Brilliant. I see it right there in the picture you posted. I deleted the AC components when I went to reinstall everything, so that explains how that bracket slipped through the cracks. Now to write a label on it with a paint pen before I forget or let it sneak into the scrap pile. Many thanks!
