Power Steering Pump

Can someone please post a photo or two of how the power steering pump bracket mounts to the 351M engine. It is under the AC compressor of my daughter's 78 F150 4x4.
I have been searching for two days, when I get the time. I have it mated to the water pump but the stud sticking out of the head is not long enough to put in a spacer. We are just rounding the corner of a year and 1/2 rebuilding this entire beast and now I am about ready to fire it up. I am about ready to remove the belt so I can start it.

sorry just sent my sons truck to Ala. or

i would take pics for you. I do know went with new bolts rather than the stud. I want to say it took a 1" spacer i measured the depth with a screwdriver and just bought a new grade bolt to length.
probably wont help but here's a late night one

That's the son 75 with 79 front end conversion

Here's a couple pics from mine.


The unpainted portion is the A/C Compressor bracket. What's circled is where the PS bracket bolts to the front of the engine.





Circled part is the same as Pic1 but mounted on the front of the engine. I had a bolt there (not a stud) and replaced it with a new one when doing my AC upgrade.
