Power steering pump and mounting bracket

Hello Fordsters,
my problem is mounting a stock ford power steering pump to a 1974 351 windsor that I transplanted into my 1979 f150. The bracket that came with the pump doesnt appear to line up with the holes in front of engine block. Should I buy a universal bracket? Where is the proper location to mount this pump? Which pulley should it line up with? Damper pulley? How much distance is needed between pulleys? Should it be a certain height and distance from the damper pulley? In other words where is the proper mounting location for this pump? Thanks.

1974 351W would have come from a car. Here's the LTD pic, notice that there are two P/S pump mounting brackets (3C511 & 3A732).

1978/79's used the Ford C-II P/S pump, the brackets are specific to this pump, as it's a different shape than the Ford/Thompson P/S pump used 1967/77.

The Ford C-II P/S pump has a plastic reservoir. The P/S pressure hose attaches to the pump w/a qwik connect fitting.

No 351W's were factory installed in F150/350 & Bronco until 1981.
