Need picture of '65 or '66 water pump and crossover

Anyone have a picture of the water pump, or mainly the crossover on top of the water pump mounted on car, all assembled?  I have a stud right below the compressor mounting holes, with a nut and ground wire, but it looks like it was originally a bolt.  Is there supposed to be a wire grounded to this hole below the compressor mounting holes?  Was it a bolt?  My other spare crossover has a hole only and no stud. 

Also. shop manual shows a picture of the heater hose at 10 o clock for non ac cars, but no ac picture.  My '65 Eldo w/ AC had no 10 o'clock heater hose outlet, and htr hose connected in back of cross over.  Can someone confirm the correct water pumps too for the cars, both AC and non.  Authenticity manual is not that clear.   Why would you need 3, the heater hose outlet at 10 o clock, on the radiator, and on the back of crossover as there are only two hoses :)  My guess is some radiators may not have had a heater hose connection??  AC cars the 10 o clock connection may be in the way??

Replacing the water pump on my '65 Eldo this weekend and wanted to check.

Thanks!  Chuck

I can help with one part of this because I owned a 1965 many years ago. The earlier production 1965's had no heater hose nipple on the radiator. The later production ones did.

Thanks for the info Alan!

On the other question, anyone else know if a bolt or stud under compressor mounting holes on crossover? Also, what is that hole used for...ground?   Thanks

I tried to remove, but the "stud" broke off.  I am almost positive that there was originally a bolt there as I saw some other pics of these when searching with Bing, and none had a stud.  Drilled and tapped new hole.  Circled in red in pic attached the hole in question as this is the one I'm asking about-what goes here? :)  All painted now and installed today!
FYI, went with http://arthurgouldrebuilders.com/ in LI, NY for the pump rebuild (as the pumps w/o the 10 o'clock outlets not available)

How much did the rebuild on the water pump run you?
