Need pics of NP231 Oil Pump and Oil Pick Up

I searched pretty good on this site as well as a few others and Google, but can't find the pics that I need. I installed my SYE over the weekend with the help of Lurch, but he had to leave before we were done, and I forgot to hook up the oil pick up to the oil pump :doh: and I did not see how it was before we tore the transfer case apart, so I need very good pics and a detailed explanation of how to hook to them back up. Thank you in advance for any help!
 
There's really not much to it. You haven't split the case, so the bottom of the pickup should still be roughly in the right place. The upper end, the tube, slips into the o-ring'ed hold in the pump. The pump has 4 tabs that fit into the gaps in the tailshaft housing.

It can take a little finagling to get it all lined up. A piece of fishing line looped around the pickup tube can help a bunch to keep the tube pulled up while you're fitting it all up and can be removed pretty easily after.
