2) Best place to locate heater control valve?

Any help is appreciated.

My instructions said to drill a 5/8" hole for the drain. The 5/8" hole fit very snug around the drain hose and sealed nice. Double check that yours says 1". I drilled mine in the flat area at the base of the firewall. My hole comes out into the packet for the subframe mount the hose then just drains to the ground. If you pop the hole into the subframe mount packet you won't have to see it hanging down from the engine compartment.

I mounted the heater control valve in the cabin just off the bulkhead. Mounting it the cabin means one less wire to run through the firewall and one less thing to look at under the hood. If you want to mount it under the hood and assuming you are routing the hoses between the inner and outer fender I would hide the valve in that area.
