Default Vacuum Pump install

I want to install a electric vacuum pump in my 81 vet (383 450 hp). stumped on finding a good place to mount it. Any suggestions?

I installed mine behind the drivers side front wheel in the vent opening. I had to remove the charcoal canister to make room and make a custom bracket for it to sit on with rubber isolator mounts to help reduce the noise. It was a tight fit, but worked out great.
