Default Airride, where do you put the tank and compressor on a 68 camaro?

I am in the process of installing the airride system.
I am thinking of placing the tank (2 gallons) and compressor at the left corner of my trunk.
Any other suggestions?
Pictures?

I also want to install the battery at the right corner and 2 amps + 1 enclosed subwoofer in the middle..

My thoughts would be up near the seat bracing at the front of the trunk, but if you're doing stereo equipment up there, then about the only other place I can think of would be the where you're describing. How much space do they require?

My car is a nova but hey, cars are cars right Anyway, I am still in the stages of making my pump(s) panel that will hold the valves also. That is going in between the wheel wells in the trunk. The tank (5gal) will go on the left side of the trunk. I have a battery on the right side. And a subwoofer will go on the vertical panel just behind the pumps. The amps will go on the passengers side of that vertical panel. I dont have any rear seats, the 4-link ate them so I figure I might as well use it for stereo components. JR

Here is a pic of the trunk pre-air ride. I will have more to follow. I have been wiring up the pumps and valve block lately, looking pretty good. I didnt like the rats nest of wiring that comes off the valve block. So I removed the wires from the connectors with a tool and cleaned the look up some.

We put the tanks and compressors behind the rear seat and if you build it right you can put the battery up there as well. You can fit your stereo all around it we do it all the time.
