Default installing sidepipes

I just bought a kit to install sidepipes on my 1971, does anyone have a diagram from the 1969 AIM or could tell me how?

Hi m pro,
Side exhausts NICE.
The Willcox site has information on installing the side exhaust as well as copies of the 69 AIM pages.
I believe it's in the Installation and Tech section of the site.
It's not too big or difficult a job. One thing that important though is getting the pipes installed high enough so the aren't visible along the bottom of the covers.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan

I think they forgot a page, the one with the numbers on them showing what the part is.
