Default oil pump install need little help

today i removed oil pan and was surprised when the oil pump came
out with it. i have les andrews manual and i read it is the way it
comes out.

but i dont understand when i will re install pump and pan, how it goes back together. do i put pump up first then pan, what would hold it
in place? will i have a problem aligning the pump to the engine?

the motor is in the car. 30 tn sedan

This is per Snyder's catalog:

Use this handy fitting to hold the pump in place when you remove or install the oil pan. The fitting threads in where the slotted pipe thread plug goes on the side of the block between the oil pan and the valve cover at the center. Once it is installed, you thread the bolt in the center of the fitting in against the oil pump so it won't fall out. You thread this bolt in just snug enough to hold the pump, do not over tighten or you will bust the oil pump casing. U.S.A.

Lower side of the block is a threaded plug remove using a 1/4 " rod inserted in the side plug hole and pressed against the pump housing. or using a fine taper pipe thread (3/8-27F-PTF) screwed into the hole will hold it up. Once the pan is bolted on you remove this bolt.The pump is not designed for a set screw to hold it. Then put original screw back in to keep oil from coming out. Clear????

Remember the spring between the pump and the pan bottom.

bolt and raise up pan to engine. install pan bolts remove threaded bolt.

You can use a modern type block drain that raises off its seat when turned I find it works good to hold the pump in place,then remove & install original 1/8" pipe plug.Make sure pump shaft is aligned with tang on pump drive so pump will seat on block. I wouldnt have bothered to remove brg caps to prelube them.Pour a L or QT of oil down dist hole to prelube main & cam brgs,a bit of oil in plug holes & fire it up.As soon as engine runs,the rods will be oiled.When warmed up,change the oil.Since the pan is off,remove dipper tray & clean out the pan.If U have the brg caps off,then U might as well check the brg clearance.
