If you are not getting engine noise in your system, it is fine. That's about the only thing I can think of that it can affect that might be audible.

Any other opinions?

I'd be willing to bet that there is a ground strap going to the frame. What you are seeing is just the ground for the AC compressor.

See if you can't get it on a lift to get a better look underneath.

Like DYohn said also, if you aren't getting engine noise then it is fine.
