That's a bracket which bolts onto the engine but I can't remember if its for the air con pulley adjuster, or something to do with the power steering bracket or pump. I think its the former. Maybe even alternator or air con compressor itself?
More likely air con, and someone's removed the air con from the car but left that loose and/or dropped it. |

It's part of the bracket that holds the power steering pump. It should be located at the front of the engine to the left, just under the pulley for the p/s pump. at about the same height as the forward most part of the exhaust manifold. |
