I'm sure you can put it here and clean the lines up

I mounted mine on the shock tower side facing the driver, with the **** pointed towards the engine. If you're talking about an adjustable valve that is.

If you have an aftermarket type, you can splice it into the rear line anywhere between the distribution block and the rear axle.

I mounted mine to the inner fender just below the hood hinge. I got an adjustable one from SSBC.

If possible you should mount everything so all lines/components are downhill from the MC. That way any air in the lines will rise to and escape from the MC.
It's not necessary, but it makes bleeding and maintaining the brake system easier.

yeah, i did keep air flow in mind. I ended up with sort of a hack job, but its kinda temporary, when I look into getting a power booster for the brakes, im going to redo all the brake lines. I ended up with a bunch of spiraled brake lines haha
