New (for me) Paxton sn-2000 Have questions / need help.

I picked up a Paxton sn-2000 kit today it a tpi 88-92 kit; I am looking to any sort of manual or instructions for instillation. Also I have a few questions about the unit, what are the torque specs for the case (torks bolts) and crank bolt, and the bolts to attach it to the car. Also where does the alternator go? The kit has the pickup for an oil cooler, what holds it in place? also there was a plug that was filling the dipstick hole it fell in the case during transport, so I removed the back plate to get it out of the oil reservoir, while open I noticed all of the seals and bearings looked very new, the previous owner said it had just been rebuilt, so this matches what he said, but I did notice when turning over the unit it fells like it has a decent amount of drag, it will not free spool, I put my torque wrench on it and measured that it takes about 1/3 to 1/2 lb to turn the impeller, does this sound right? Also does anyone have any detailed pics of this unit installed? Thanks so much for the help. I attached a pic of the unit; see if I am missing anything major.

Thanks.

Found a manual for sale on e bay, and bought it, but still would like pictures, and questions bout drag. Thanks. Also what kind of power will this setup add, I have read about 35% or 60-65 hp at 6-7 psi, does that sound right?

Stock TPI is rated at 240 bhp. So, 35% of that is 84 bhp.

stock TPI is 240 bhp
6.5 PSI of boost
.8 efficiency due to compressor air temp. rise

240*((6.5+14.7)/14.7)*.8 = 84 bhp
