Power Steering Mounting

I am just finishing up a father son project car and now that I'm putting thing back together I'm at a loss on how the Power Steering mounts. It's a 305 (Carb) and straght belt (not serpine), The power steering on this one mounts on the drive's side just under the airconditioner compressor. Anyone have any pictures of how this might mount?

Thanks,

Photo's tough, kind of tight in there. The bolt you see next to the cap attaches to a stud from the block and is the pivot point for the pump. There's a second bolt below it that goes through a slot on the pump and into the lower water pump. 'Nother bolt on the other side through slot on pump into bracket below compressor. Couldn't get a halfway decent photo of that. If yours is like mine, I may be able to walk you through it though.

I completely forgot about this when I was rebuiling my 350.
Here's my thread, it'll probably help you out.
