HELP disc brake swapping

Charger
We replace both uppers with with Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings. Did not change out the lower control or strut rod. Our car had the 9" drums and the alignment was just fine before we did the change out.
I thought the calipers where to face the front and that was the way we did it. But the Haynes manual shows pictures of the 73' and up with the calipers in the back.
I have a stock 73 here and drivers side claiper mounts at 11 o'clock position.
I wouldn't trust pics or generic drawings found in Haynes or Chilton books.
