I am going to be running air conditioning in my truck and it looks like I have to run the a/c plumbing through the firewall where FFR says to mount the radiator overflow tank. I am going with no engine covers and there's not a lot of room on the firewall. Where have others with a/c mounted the overflow tank, other than the passenger side?
Thanks!

I moved mine over to the drivers side next to the brake fluid reservoir.

Ah, nice. I have 2 brake fluid reservoirs, so no room there for me.
Thanks!

Yes I should have posted the pics.. Tough to see but it bolts through the brackets on the tank to the side of the shroud. I put rivnuts in the shroud.

darn. Mine doesn't have that kind of attachment. I got two brackets that encircle the tank. Oh well.

I have mine inboard the AC plumbing, have about 1 ½ clearance from headers.
