Above or Below the Line of Nodes

Given an elliptical orbit of a planet around the sun. You are given the Longitude of the Ascending Node (Line of Nodes). How do you determine which side of the Sun's Equator does the Perihelion fall below or above? Is the inclination always above positive with respect to the True Anomally at zero?
