POWER STEERING UNIT BUSHINGS REPLACEMENT 240 wagon

'89 240 DL wagon--non-turbo---
The power steering--(external resevoir) is slightly tilting down-forward---thus the V- belt is not straight on it-- time to replace the rubber bushings--bought the 3 bushings I was told it uses---looks like "do-able" by myself--but also looks like a "pain in the a--". If I am "guessing" correctly--gotta remove the AMM--top radiator hose--possibly the top 2 power steering hoses--loosen the tension on the belt--(looks like 2 long "tension adjusting bolts")---one obvious long bolt on the bracket with 2 bushings--where is the other bushing located?? Anyone done this? $80 labor if I pay a mechanic--it's rough to make life altering decisions-- "To do--or have it done--that is the ?????" Suggestions?? Thanks.
