Vacuum pump / PS pump seal direction

So I'm putting my vacuum pump back together, with the seal kit from Cummins. The old seal in between the PS pump and vac pump was totally frozen in place, a mallet and deep socket did nothing, and it was totally mangled by the time I finally got it out.

The directions that came with it are for the non-IC pump, and the pictures are really hard to make out detail on.

Which direction does this seal face ?

I've looked all through the archives here, found nothing so far.

TIA.

I'm guessing with the seal lips facing the vac pump and the hard part facing the PS pump ?

Yes, on any seal the open side faces the oil.

Yes, that's how it goes. The instructions do leave a little to be desired huh?
