Parts that need to be identified

Got a boatload of parts in big bins with a car I bought and working my way through them, along with other parts during tear down. But some in the bins I just cant identify or others cant remember after disassembling (I tagged 99% of the frame-off, this is whats left)
Any help is much appreciated.

Some sort of brackets for engine. I know 71-72 pretty well, but not these. (Bottom 2 pics are a different bracket)

Big holes on these are exact same size, so Im assuming they go together somewhere. I have a feeling somewhere on the Rad Core support

Looks very similar to the grille brackets, but only 2 holes on the flat piece instead of 4 holes

I'm pretty sure this is a Chevy bracket.

Man I thought that was a possibilty...but also thought much earlier year olds too as it was mixed in with all Olds parts. Thank you Joe.

Close, but the opposite end has mount holes too and isnt flat. But at least now I will broaden out my Car mfg search.
Car did come with a Buick GS1 Th400 too as the only other non olds part.
Will take off wrapping and get a better pic today.

It's an SBC alternator bracket. There were a number of similar versions over the decades.

I think 7 and 8 hold the grilles on a 71 or 72 Cutlass.

Close, but not exactly.

OK, update on items 7 and 8. I'm showing two different part numbers. 1971 shows 407357. 1972 (except 442) shows 410057. I'm betting that the repro bracket that I posted above is the 1971 and 1972 442 bracket (since every one of those cars is now a Faux Four Two). I'm betting that the OP's brackets are the 1972 non-W29 grille brackets. They're too close not to be.
