Default LS2 TB; Power steering tank relocation?

What have you all done to relocate the PS reservoir when you install a LS2 throttle body?
I have a A&A procharger bracket in the way on the pass side head and I believe there is not room to move it forward because of the radiator cover.

Why would you need to do that? I was thinking about it for cosmetics, but the guys I see with the conversion do not move the resevoir.

You flip the TB 180 deg. The actuator should be on the pass. side for the LS2 TB.

I thought he might have it upsidedown. There any problem with mounting it like that?

The A&A procharger bracket takes up all of the pass side. There is not any clearance on that side for TB to be turned normal, it has to be upside down.

Call Andy@ A&A. Surely they've had this issue before.

I would do that but when I ordered a idler pulley from him the end of last week he was getting ready to leave on a cruise. I will catch him in a few days.
