Hi, i know JD will probably give you a better, more detailed answer than i, but is there by any chance a flat bar, which the original arch is resting on to the rear of the bricks, as there sometimes is! and also, providing the motar between the bricks of the arch, is nice and tight then you should not have a problem!but you could while building the L/h wall up to the arch, put in a steel plate asa discribed above, (if there is not one hidden in there anywhere!) just to be on the "over cautious" side of things, usually these kind of openings are either totally gone, ready to come down, or still well strong!!!!
