Does your tensioning bracket bolt to the water pump in 2 places, or just 1?

Ben's bracket did not work for me with an '83 urq tensioning bracket that 
bolted to the water pump in 2 places.
I had to use a later model CGT/4000q bracket that only bolted to the upper 
water pump bolt.   I am surprised that
others haven't had this problem.   I will say that I may not have used an 
Urq power steering pump, as we
have several pumps here and I grabbed what was handy.  I never noticed a 
difference in those 10v pumps, though.
