From the factory, the vacuum ball on my Camaro was mounted under the tray for the charcoal canister if I recall correctly? Either that or the battery tray but either way thats about as out of sight as it gets.

Re: vac can and ball relocation

I will try to mount this out of sight as well such as under the driver's side tray, as it takes up space where I want to put a window washer reservoir bottle.
