Default power steering lines routing

I have a 67 convertible with a 289 A code. Could somebody explain how these lines go from the pump to the control valve and where the restraining bracket attaches to the body? A couple of pics could probably be worth a thousand words.

I installed the pressure hose today without the bracket but it looks like it is going to be too close the the exhaust pipe. I haven't but the new Y pipe on yet so I am only guessing. Currently the hose runs between the exhaust manifold and the shock tower, down around the power steering cylinder, under the center link, and then connects to the control valve. Does this sound correct?

Thanks

Yes, that odd-looking routing is correct. The bracket goes on the top bolt on the rear of the motor mount, where it attaches to the frame.

I want to also add that the hoses hang lower than you'd think. They should have a slight curve to them, and actually hang down slightly lower than the oil pan.

I have the Ron Morris adjustable mounts. I don't know if the bracket will hold the hoses in the correct spot. Has anyone fabricated a bracket for these mounts.
