Default Vortech on order, poss compatabilty prob, need HELP!!

I have just been informed that the vortech I ordered for my '01 may not work. Apparently, some of the early '01's still used the '00 style ABS module which vortech does not yet have the bracketing worked out for. Can anyone tell me how I can tell which module I have??
Thanks!

Below is a pic of the ABS module on my 2002 coupe. Doing a h/c job on my buddy's '99 this weekend, I noticed that the tubes going into the ABS unit on his went into the driver's side instead of the top. I believe the mounting bracket is also different. You can compare your's to the pic below. The differences are obvious.

My '00 ABS is completely in the way and I've ordered one anyhow.
We're going to relocate the ABS system. Should have notes/pics in about 3 weeks. The Vortech should be here on Wednesday, but I'm in the middle of doing a SPEC 3 Ceramic, new TQ Tube and new 3.90's all at once.

Need time before we can get on the SC project.

My ABS unit looks exactly like the picture above, so I guess that means I'm OK. What about the power steering fluid resevoir? It looks like it will be in the way. Do the kits make provisions for relocating it?
Thanks
Scott
