What is this? Bracket/screw near harmonic balancer

87 300D ... OK, was investigating my engine last night in the wee hours, and noticed a bracket and screw that I can't figure out the purpose of. On the passenger side, front of the engine, sort of right above the harmonic balancer and below the fan pulley, there's this bracket with a bolt sticking through it, just sort of sitting there. The bracket seems to be attached to the crankcase, but it's kind of loose, and the bolt attaches to nothing. Neither pulley makes contact with it, but it's pretty tight in there. I'm stumped: what is that? Is it supposed to be there?

Edit to add: I searched the EPC and didn't see an item that looks like it anywhere.
