Default Need help converting from manual to power steering.

I purchased a power steering unit from a fellow PY'er for my 66 LeMans. I have attached a couple of pictures. I need to know the orientation and attachment of these brackets. Any help will be appreciated.

Some close up pictures of the mounting of the pump and brackets would be a big help.

It covers the nut-style base of the threaded stud that protrudes on the back of the reservoir,

Thanks Jeff. Been years since the PS was apart on my car, unsure whether or not that washer is even there

Interesting. Now I see the purpose. Thought maybe it was just a cosmetic item. Looks like I have some PS work to do.......
