If you already have the components installed you can take pictures and use them for a guide. Otherwise, an Assembly Manual would be the best source. You could try looking up Jim Shea's papers at corvettefaq.com to see if there are any diagrams there. Jim is THE authority on Corvette steering.

I just replaced mine a few weeks ago. A few of the online places had nice how-to's with pics on their websites. I don't remember who, but a quick google should find them. Good luck!
