Default Tvs switch location

Gentlemen,
I'm trying to make everything right and go as close to stock as possible.
I'll be running a 80's Quadrajet and vaporcanister. To make it work I need to install a TVS switch which is normally installed on the water neck. Now I can't use a stock one because it interferes with electric fan switch so I need to run a swivel one which don't come with NPT ports...
Would it be ok to install it at the front of the intake manifold ? Would the TVS warm up too quickly, hence purge the canister too fast (during warmup) ?
Thanks,
Nick

Whoops, allow me to answer my own question, I'll relocate the fan switch to the water neck as well...
