Which of these brackets goes with what accessory?

I bought a set of accessory brackets from a guy but I'm not sure which one goes with what accessory. Can you guys help me out? I'm pretty sure the top left one goes to the alternator, but the others I really have no clue. I'll probably have another question related to how to mount the alternator bracket on a truck block when doing fbody accessories later too...

Top left is the alternator bracket, top right is the power steering bracket, bottom left I "believe" is for the alternator as well, not sure about that other one.

Re: Which of these brackets goes with what accessory?

Both brackets on the left-hand side are for the alternator. The big c-shaped one goes on/around the alternator. The small one bolts on the side of the block and holds the back of the alternator.

Both of the brackets on the right are for the power steering. The triangle piece bolts to the head first, then the c-shaped piece goes on the bottom front of the pump. Bolts go through this c-shaped bracket and the pump into the triangle bracket on the head. I can probably get pics if needed.

Off the top of my head, those are all the brackets you'll need if you're not running A/C. Do you have the idler and the tensioner pulley/bracket? I'll try to get you some pics tomorrow before work if I have enough time.

I bought a belt tensioner with the alternator and other accessories, so I *should* have that. I'll post pictures of everything I have tonight or something.

Re: Which of these brackets goes with what accessory?

Here's the rest of the accessories that I have. I'm hoping that I have everything I need, since I'm not running a/c? If someone could show me some pictures on how to mount the brackets that would be great. I looked at it today and was kind of lost.

Also, I noticed that the line coming out of the power steering pump was cut, and there seems to be a crimpled aluminum tube inside the rubber hose. Is the only way to replace the line is to remove it from the pump itself (meaning I have to take the pulley off the power steering pump to get to the bolt holding the hose on), or does the crimped aluminum tube disconnect somewhere?

That picture shows the brackets pretty well. The truck block is missing a hole for the alternator I believe, but other than that it's hard not to put these brackets on right, they only line up one way. But refer to the pic for a general idea of what goes where.
