Default Engine compartment seal kit

Hello,
As my '77 Corvette's front A-arm seals are as good as gone I decided to buy a new engine compartment seal kit. Felt like Christmas today when the kit arrived, but I also realised that I have no clue where a lot of the parts go ...

The kit includes:
- Front A-arm flaps: I know where it goes, but am I supposed to cut of parts, or should the "flap" lie on top of the bumper (looks like it should be on top here)
- Bumper Brake Seals: ???
- Fender skirt splash shield weatherstrip: ???
- Upper and lower fender seal kit: ???
- Wiper motor seal: This one I know where to put!

It might seem like a stupid question, but I would be happy if anyone had any pictures of what it is supposed to look like.

Hi j,
Hope these help.
Regards,
Alan

A-arm.


Bumper brace.
Apron to upper fender/surround.
Apron to frame. (This one is a flat piece of rubber, some are an extruded shape similar to what is used on the splash shields.)



Splash shields.
