Default Idler Pulley (Adjustment Bracket?) 88 Pioneer

Got a quick question. I recently purchased a 88 pioneer 4.0L and I noticed that the idler pulley was sitting at an angle. Upon further inspection I discovered where the idler pulley bolts in a chunk of metal had broken off and it looks like they JB welded it. The question I have is.. what is the bracket called that it bolts into? If I had to guess it looks like the AC compressor bracket but I don't know for sure. (You'll have to forgive me I'm pretty new to Jeeps and doing my own mechanic work) I want to get it replaced but have no idea what's called to actually call parts stores/salvage yards for it.

If I'm guessing correctly, it's the compressor/fan/idler bracket, P/N 53002901
Scrapyard-only part unless you can find one around gathering dust somewhere.
