Need help with power steering bracket configuration on 86 TA! Immediate help needed!

I'm finishing up my engine install and trying to get the power steering pump put back on. Problem is... I can't figure out the configuration of the bracket. This car is a 1986 Trans Am... before the serpentine assembly. The AC and the power steering use the same bracket(s). There's like 3 pieces to this bracket. The AC has been delted but that isn't helping any. One problem I see is that one piece of the bracket attached to the old manifold and well, I've got headers on there now. Help ASAP would be greatly appreciated. Pics... anything. Thanks in advance.

86,

If you want a photo(s), just tell me what angles you would need. I'll send you some. Also indicate what format you prefer (jpg, tif, gif, bmp, whatever).

I figured you'd reply Vader, beings you have an 86. I appreciate that. I've fixed the problem though. I now have a hybrid power steering bracket... half power steering bracket/half smog pump bracket. Hey, it works. The problem I was having is that the part of the bracket on the far drivers side originally bolted to the manifolds.. well, I added headers and that bracket no longer would fit. It's all good now. Thanks Vader.
