Just put a 6al in last weekend and had the same problem. We didn't want to remove the overflow or washer bottle so we ended up fabricating a mount out of 1/4 sheetmetal over the charcoal canister. It was tight to get the wires to reach around to the coil though, there is just enough. Worked out pretty good though. just screwed it to the inner fender with sheetmetal screws and then used a piece of alum bent to mount it to the frame below. this was on an IROC btw, Firebird's battery is where the IROC's charcoal canister is.

I fabbed up a bracket using thin sheat metal and 4 L-brackets from sears hardware. I had to remove the cruise servo though, i didn't plan on ever using it so why not. The bracket has held up well in the past 7 months hasn't come loose or anything.

Here's some pictures:
