Default Which Power Steering Pump Reservoir?

I got a new power steering pump from Lee. I'd like to house it in a shiny chrome or polished reservoir rather than a black one. Which one is available with the correct return line orientation for my '77 Trans Am with 400?

Any short-neck Saginaw pump and reservoir should work, but make sure that it's clocked correctly for the car. My '79 T/A with a 400 had a PS pump and reservoir on it when I first got it that was clocked far too clockwise - the filler neck was pointing at like a 60 degree angle when it should be pointing almost vertically at 80 or so degrees. This could interfere with pulley or pressure/return line alignment. I think it was meant for a Cadillac engine or something.
