Somehow that just doesn't look factory. Looks like somebody took a Jeffrey Dahmer saw to something.

I just rebuilt my a/c -heater box and it was in the bag with all the screws for it. But can’t see anywhere it went. Box now works fine.

Re: What Is This and Where Does It Go?
My OEM HVAC stuff is out of the car and I looked through it last night and could not find a part that looked like. So I don't think it is from there, especially since you say it is working just fine.

You know when I put my car back together I found that I was far more efficient than GM was and didn't need all the parts either.

No. It’s only about 6 inches long.
