Servo Problems

Hey. I got an 88 Formula that was origionally a 305 TBI but swapped to a 350 TPI. Thats how I bought it. I guess with the air induction and the emissions, all that stuff was moved from the driver side tray to the passenger side tray, thus the battery on the driver side. The cruise control wasnt hooked up, and the servo was laying where the windshield resevoir tank was (not bolted in or anything). My main concern is how to get it set up mainly because I cant fit the servo in there.... the battery is taking up all the space. Any suggestions? If there is a way to remove the whole cruise control setup without screwing anything up, I will go that route as well. I just want this beast to get back on the road after sitting for 5 years... Thanks!

The component layout is typical of the Pontiacs:



The cruise servo should be mounted next to the windshield washer reservoir. All you need is to install the self-tapping screws (mountied from the inner fender through the servo bracket -same as the washer reservoir):

Thanks for the help! Yea I removed it for now, because I guess the 305 TBI servos have a completely different setup than the 350 TPIs. The mounting in this car is made to fit in the dip where the battery sits in your engine bay, and I cant fit it with my battery in the way. Thanks very much, now I know what to keep my eyes peeled for in local junkyards!
