Top alternator to bracket?
Ground cable from battery to drivers side of block?
Ground strap from drivers side rear head to firewall?

That bracket your asking about is bolted in the same place the battery ground wire is. The bolt in the pic is the top alternator to bracket bolt.
The bolts that hold the brackets for the starter cable do not have washers on them.

Doesn't look like an engine bolt. What did you disassemble in the bay? Sway bar bolt?

Does it have metric or US threads?

If metric, that's a A/C compressor mount bolt. The A/C compressors are all made in the Far East and use metric fasteners.
