Default Need help with mounting brackets

Hello,

I took out my 305 about a month ago and took some pictures of my brackets on the front of the motor but apparently they are not good enough to help me put it back together.

Long story short, I have all of the factory brackets to mount alternator, power steering pump, and air conditioner. I have dropped in a recently rebuilt 355. I am looking for someone who can provide a picture of how all of the brackets go back on the motor. Also, I may have to do some fabrication work as I have added a set of ceramic coated headers. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated. Also, any help with modifications for headers would help as well. I have access to a welder and if needed.

I can definitely see some of the way it will line up, but the bracketry looks a little different to me. Does anyone have actual pictures with all of the stock brackets? Eventually, I will move to serpentine just don't have the money now.

What year, make, model of vehicle you working on?
That would definitely help!
