the power steerign bracket you have is for dealer a/c. so that diagram is the one you will want to follow.
this picture is of my 68 with a 390 instead of a 360 same setup though. ignore the bottom pulley on the right. it is missing a spacer so it isnt lined up properly. this is what yours will look like when you are doen though. as long as you put all of your spacers in the right places.
the only one thing i can say is. the pulley on my engine that isnt lined up has two different ones. one for the 68-70 and the other for the 71/72 slide style that you have. the difference is how thick the bracket for that pulley is. oh my power steering pump isnt in this picture. it was in the floorboards when i took this picture.
