1984 GSL-SE: Need help identifying front valance parts

I recently pulled the lower valance and grille, and noticed that there is nothing bolted to the "yellow arrow" holes (the grille bolts to the "red arrow" hole). Wondering if I'm missing some frame support piece, or pieces that bolt to these holes:



Anyone have information, or pictures, on what bolts to these holes if anything?

Thanks!

there's an undertray that mounts between the front valance and the cross member. Here's a good pic of an aftermarket one (the OE is tin and shaped the same) -

Here, I dug out my old one. The tabs at the back edge fit onto the cross member.

Thanks @Maxwedge and @LongDuck - I think I have an OEM splash pan in my pile of parts, but I've never installed it.
