Mine is also mounted just in front of the driver's side wheel well, I had to relocate that vacuum ball looking thing but it fits great.

I put it on the passenger side diagonal frame brace. A couple T-shaped brackets, hose-clamped to the brace, rubber isolated. Keeps the wires short and tidy as they just run along the firewall (zip-tied to hood release cable) to the distributor.

I have a Digital-6 that I installed in the rear compartment behind the passenger seat. It fits easily on the little shelf with plenty of room. It doesnt get hot but I am still considering installing a fan. I have heard of people putting them in the glove box.. :nonod: but I think there is less airflow in there than in the rear compartment.
