Need help mounting a 74 240D power steering pump

Does anyone have a pic or diagram of how the power steering pump bracket mounts to the engine block on a 74 240D 115 117? I found a general engine diagram of where it mounts (directly to the right of the main crank pully) but I'm not sure if the hoses are on top side or bottom... I can't seem to line up any holes. I'm thinking that the bracket may be missing something. The pump was not installed when I bought the car 2 months ago... I've been working on getting the engine started... which I finally did! There is another thread on that... I was just going to use the engine for a generator and may still do that, but I'd like to get the car on the road for awhile just to see how it does. The only thing keeping me from driving it now is the power steering pump. There are no bolts with the pump either...

Thanks for your help...

Older than I've dealt with. Remove pump, belt seal lines, you may need muscles to steer, otherwise no down side to operate. Anyone else?

Thanks guys!

Based on the diagrams I'm definately missing some parts to mount it to the engine block.

After reading some more about this years pumps, it seems there are problems with the pumps and brackets. I assume there was one with this car also.. so I concluded the pump may not be any good anyway.

I removed the power steering pump completely, got the fan back on and
hooked it back up to the fuel tank with an extra filter and drove it for the first time about 2 miles. It was loud because the tail pipe is missing from the rear wheels back, breaks were good, but it ran OK... It was a real sense of accomplishment buying an old junk that didn't run for $100 and getting it back on the road one more time at least for a few days anyway.
