I imagine a photo would be online.

Also some dealership parts diagrams would be your friend.

Can you post the engine model? Not too many people have the 3.5L around here.

Wouldn't the pump be the same if it was the same engine overall?

Guess I'm not fully understanding the question. Or are you having trouble locating the pump on the engine?
