YIKES! where have all my bolts gone?

So, I'm in the process of changing my intake manifold. I go under the car to undo the bolts holding the mani to that bracket. Thats when I look to my left only to see some kind of braket hanging from the ass-end of the rear motor mount. Upon further investigation, I realize that there should be three bolts going through that bracket into something (tranny?). However, there are NO bolts to be found. YIKES!

So your going to keep the manifold now?

No, I ended up just putting the thermal spacer in.

Now I think I know why the bolt that holds the shift linkage in place broke!
