If you can, mount it a little higher so it's not sandwiched between the FMIC and the radiator. Want to make sure it gets some air.
Alternatively, you can extend the soft lines and move it somewhere else entirely.

heres some pics i got today, i plan to make my own thread at the end but this thread will be good for if i need info... one question anybody think about filing down those bolts or anything that the belt runs real close to, or has anyone had problems with the belt rubbing anywhere on the bolts from the motor, also the belt where it runs next to the blower..(ill take pics tomorrow)....also after the blower and everything was mounted i noticed an extra spacer on the work bench??anybody come across anything extra in their hardware kits? positive i put all the spacers on i beleive but will double check again tomorrow. everything is sitting and spinning and not touching anything at the moment and seems like everything is cleared back away from any moving parts and straight, just like i said few of those bolts seemed real close to look at..
didn't get any pics of the interior apart with wiring but its real straight forward and i soldered all of them instead of clips and shrink wrapped...came out great, just gotta finish the intercooler and piping and few more things, but its comin together

The engine cover bolts, yes they are VERY close up by the jackshaft pulley. I took a grinder to them to add some clearance and still left enough to get a socket on there.

I just noticed, it looks like you have the COG tensioner pulley bolt on backwards .. the nut should be toward the front of the car, not the back. You'll blow the bearings in the pulley if you do it the way you have it.
See how mine is setup...

Do a quick search, there was a bit of debate around how it should be setup and that it wasn't really clear in the installation manual (which is really just a rough guide).
