Default Quick check, belt wear issue

I'm in need of someone to pop the hood real quick and tell me a couple things.
The AC drier, is it in a vertical position? Mine seems to be slanted and is now rubbing the serpentine belt.

How close is the power steering hose to the AC fan? Mine is touching 0.o I will be fixing/replacing a lot of the AC parts in the next week, everything is in the mail!

It seems the new to me bug was a little curb happy, it doesn't seem like the sheet metal is bent, and the rest of it is plastic that I see no cracks. Any ideas?

Well it seems the passenger side engine mount is not bolted down!
Anyone else have an issue with this? It looks like one of the bolts broke, while the other looks to be tight.
There was some clunking going on with accel/decel but I figured it was from the worn lower rear A arm bushing(also on order).

Sounds like someone reused the one time use torque to yield bolts.If one is broke it might be best to replace the other motor mount bolts.If a timing belt was done on it they may have reused bolts instead of replacing them.

Damn I bet that's what happened then, the rear one is sheered off but the front is still there. Is there some sheet metal being bent when the engine moves front to back? It seems like its still bolted to the chassis with the front bolt.

Anyone have a pic of the passenger side frame rail with the engine out?
