I see that you have the idle-arm bracket and the other half of the bushing that came out of it laying on the garage floor (picture upside down).
Can't say as I have ever seen an assembly like that. I think it would be a big help if you had a '57 Ford car shop manual to see what the factory showed in their illustrations and try to order those parts if available.
I just looked at the latest Mac's catalog and they are not offering the complete kit for '57 Ford with PS. They do offer the metal encased bushings (MA-3358-A & MA-3356-B), but I am sure those won't work with the idler arm you have.
