Water Pump Help!

I was replacing my water pump today and as I was taking the bolts out, I was placing them in the new pump as they came out of the old. While cleaning off the old gasket, I turn around and see my 4 year old standing next to me with most of the bolts in his hands!
Is there a chart or picture anyone has that shows what bolts go where?? I think I got most figured out except the bottom ones. I also have one extra, but it looks like all the rest!!
Don’t worry, I didn’t fuss, it was my fault for leaving it down low.

Papajohn's set up looks right.

My lab has many nick names. One is "Lug Nut", because he once did just what your son did, except I was working on my transfer case. Now I make a map/diagram, and use a gold or silver Sharpie to mark every fastener before they go in a box or zip loc.

1nd pic I believe for a 351M 400?
2rd pic I also believe 351M?
Let up know what you get figured out. I always take a piece of cardboard and map it out as far a bolt placement. Like the gasket.
Just remember...I believe a couple just go in/thru the pump and then into thin cover plate behind it.
