I mounted mine right on the radiator shroud. Pretty easy to mount them, plus they are away from the heat of the engine.

Look between the radiator hose and the radiator. There is a solenoid.

It's really all in plain view, I just gave everything an OEM appearance by using factory loom and flat black paint on the solenoids which (as already pointed out) are mounted to the radiator shroud. The nitrous and purge solenoids are on the right and the fuel solenoid is on the left.

Funny thing is that when everybody looks under the hood nothing stands out so the assumption is "just another stock LS-6."

Here are pics of my switches and how/where I mounted the purge lines (one per side).

switches are: bottle heater, arm, purge, cutouts.

Bottle is mounted behind the passenger seat so i can still fit the roof, subwoofer is in the center well.
