Accessory drive brackets

Hey all!

I'm am coming close to completing the rebuild of my 83 250 motor. I have a few things standing in my way though. I'm having trouble remembering where/how a couple of things mount to the motor, specifically the power steering pump and the tensioner for the alternator. This is a non ac truck, also the smog pump has been deleted.

I was wondering if I could get one of you guy to take some pictures for me. I am so close to having it running I can almost taste it. I've been working on it since March and am ready to have it done. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

just some specificics, this is an 83 with the 351W, no ac, no smog. If there's anything I missed let me know.

Here's a few pictures of all the progress.

Thank you guys for the information. I was totally forgetting about the bracket. That gets me much closer now.

How about the alternator tensioner?

Pic doesn't show any such thing.
Lower picture: 9B450 also used as smog pump mounting bracket. 9B452 used as smog pump adjusting bracket.

I am still hitting a wall with this. The schematics have helped but I could really use some actual pictures of the brackets mounted to an engine. If anyone could help withsome pictures of this I would really appreciate it. If it's easier to text them to me pm me for my phone number. I'm just really beating my head on the wall here. I thought I had it and nothing seems to want to line up.

Thanks guys.
