Hi replacing my 325 engine , putting things back together , can not figure out power steering pump, got the alternator on fine , the power steering pump body seems to have 3 locating holes for bolts but the only way i can seem to fit it is with 2 bolts,
the 3rd hole seems to sit furthesst away from engine and has nothing to bolt to, the belt lines up and tightens , but it just does not seem right ,
are ther 2 bolts that hold it to the bracket or should there be 3.

There should be 3 bolts holding it altogether
2 at the bottom(1 front, 1 rear) and the one that's used to tension the belt
