Wink My arms are getting sore!

I'm getting ready to put power steering in my truck. I've got the gear box and the pump out of a 68 V8 truck. I need to get a two groove bottom pulley for the short water pump, and I'm thinking that I'll need to remount the alternator. The alternator is on the right side, the same side the pump mounts, and I don't remember how it's set up with power steering. I've got the brackets and the bottom pulley for a long water pump, so I'm wondering if I should go ahead and buy a new long shaft water pump, and go that route, or look for the bottom pulley and figure out the alt. bracket.

Anybody got pics (I like pics!) of the setup for a short water pump? I know the long water pump setup real well, and have my Chevelle for a reference.

Also, I know the PS bracket for the 68 looks different than the 72, but it mounts up the same doesn't it?

For the short pump set up, the alt is on the drivers side, regardless of other engine driven accesories. (talking small block stuff) The Power steering pump goes beneath it, and A/C would be up high on the passenger side.
