Default Trying to put it back together

Good Afternoon,
I am completely new to this forum and trying to find some expertise while putting back together a 1980 C3.
I've had the car for almost a week and my friend started a few modifications before made it's way to my house. The radiator, water pump, P/S pump and AC compressor have all been removed, and all I have are a bunch of bolts, a few brackets and a new chrome water pump, power steering pump, and aluminum radiator with electric fans. While I have worked on hundreds of small blocks, I am not 100% sure exactly how everything is supposed to mount. I have a Hayes manual coming in the mail, but I would like to get a head start before it arrives next week. Does anyone happen to have a few pictures of front of the engine (without the fan and fan clutch) by chance?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
