78 F-100 help

My uncle gave me his 78 f-100 with a 302 and the c6, but he had it torn apart before I got to it. I just rebuilt the engine, but I have no idea how the brakets for the alt. p/s and a/c bolt on. Also i just reinstalled the driveshaft and it seems to be about 2" short. Would it make a difference if I intalled with the truch jacked up off of the ground.

Any Help would be great

Do you have the driveshaft extended? The slip yoke provides allot of play to compensate for the suspension moving up and down. Grab the slip yoke and give it a steady tug (grease in the fitting will often expand it too). It should slide out the inches you need.
