Can anyone help identify these parts and where they go on my ‘69 280sl?  During rebuilding my engine my first mechanic disappeared and I hired a new guy.  But he is having a hard time figuring out these remaining parts and where they go.  I am attaching pictures.   Thank you for any help!

The one bracket in the first picture goes from the oil pan bolts (right side) to the back studs of the starter. The other bracket in the same picture goes from the back of the injection pump to the bracket coming off the engine. The second picture shows a part which is not original to your car.

The second part looks like a 76/77 onward Corvette brake booster non return/check valve and filter. I suspect these were fitted to lots of mid 70's onwards GM products so could have been an inexpensive solution to a problem the car had in the past, or could have gotten mixed in from another car.

One of them you have here. The other one - harder to find just by looks.
