Front calipers & hoses

So, I'm doing a disk brake conversion using the 1973 front end. Last week while I was away traveling, my brother decided to help on the truck. He installed the front calipers and hoses but I'm not sure they are of the correct sides. Can someone give me some things to look for the ensure the calipers are installed on the correct sides? Thanks!

The bleeders need to point upwards.... or else it'll be impossible to bleed the brakes.

Capiche?
