Engine Pictures Needed

I need someone with to take a picture of their engine around the AC and power steering pump. I am building a new 305 engine but I think I am missing some of the brackets that hold the power steering pump on. Can someone post a picture that shows the AC and power steeing pump and how they bolt up?

Thanks Mark, that is what I need most. If anyone else has a picture of theirs I would appreciate it. The power steering is what I think I am missing the brackets for. Most of the AC is together. Mark, when you take the picture, try to get one that shows the mounting brackets.

Are those real braded hoses or the sleves?

Sleeves, you can tell with the radiator hose, cause it's just a bit small for the hose.

Thanks Mark. That helped a lot. Now I know which bracket that I am missing. Is it possible to get a picture of where the steering pump mounts at the bottom. Thanks again.

It's dark out now, but I'll try and see what I can do, I'm about to go out and start sanding/polishing my last wheel, thank G0D it's almost over.

Now that I think of it, I don't think there is a bottom mounting bracket or anything, but I'll double check.

Is there anyone else that can post pictures of their powersteering and AC pumps? I need to see the back and near the bottom of the PS pump. I thought it mounted to the engine block or water pump down at the bottom.

you are right there is a curved bracket that goes from the front of the block (right next to the timing cover) and up the back of the PS pump and attaches to another bracket that bolts to the front 2 exhaust studs, I will try to get pics, I just went through the same thing, even with a second car to copy it was a pain to piece together the 4 bracket puzzle. I go take some pics and post...give me an hour or so...

Thanks SSRacer and Mark. Those helped. I found that I was missing one of the brackets. I got it this morning and got everything together.

Hey Mark... did you always have a fan on the front of your water pump?? mine had an electric.. anyways... i was wondering something.

my electric fan died.. so i bought Duel Flex-a-lite fans from summit. Do you think i sould add a fan on the water pump and use the Duel fans as pushers on the front? or just use the duel set up as pullers?
