Default front air dam replacement

Anyone have the diagram for replacing the center air spoiler under the front of my 87..
I bought replacements from a Chevy dealer, but not sure of the bolt or screw pattern..The old one was missing when I bought it, so not sure how it secures under the front or if there is something else missing as well. The 2 side ones were no trouble to replace..
thanks for any expertise.
Rick

It looks like there are (5) bolts & nuts in obvious locations that hold the center air deflector in place.

No additional supports are visible.

There should be a metal brace on the bottum of the plastic air scoop. the center spoiler should fit over the plastic and the bolts should go down through the plastic and the metal brace where the nuts would be. This hides the nuts behind the spoiler. Should be pretty easy. You may also have a verticle brace that helps stiffen the assembly.
