Default water pump help?

ok as the thread title stated, i am installing the water pump back on my car, its a L98 TPI 1990. i took the pump off about 4 weeks ago, and now im finally back to where im almost done re-installing everything. now my question for right now is, how does the bolts go back into the water pump, i really messed up and didnt write the placements of the bolts. FML ... if anyone can show me a pic of the right placement of the bolts i will really appreciate it .. ill post a picture of the water pump up in a bit to show you all where im at, again thank you, and i look forward to your advice.

The 2 bolts with threaded studs go on the pass side to mount the A/c / idler bracket

Default Where does this thing go?

I used to make detailed drawing when I took something apart so I'd know how to put it back together. Still do that but not as much since the digital camera came along. A quick photo now and then can really help later, especially if some time goes by before re-assembly.
