In English?

You probably got it handled already, but if not:
(You should've already removed the long stud bolt on the head where the a/c once was.)
The 5-hole aluminum bracket is secured (w/ kits 3 short bolts) through the 3 tapped holes in the cylinder head ...
The p/s pressure hose (thick hose) must be loosened and rotated to fit right (you'll see when you're getting into it)
Then align the holes in the p/s pump bracket with the long holes on the just mounted aluminum bracket ...
.. then position the black steel bracket to align with the water pump and also align with the holes on the p/s pump bracket and aluminum bracket before sliding the 2 long kit bolts through.
Now go take a sip on your beer and then return to finish the job.

If the p/s return hose (lower one) is too short it may be because a previous owner cut some length off of it, in the past, when changing a bad p/s pump.

Oh, and it's better to get soaked with rain then gear oil.

Since it wasn't moaning before it sounds like you got air in the system when you disconnected the hoses.

I just pulled on mine firmly (with patience running thin) and it FINALLY went up in to position without disconnecting the hoses.. on my '88 GT. I had to get someone to help pull up on the pump while I shoved the first bolt in.
