I put mine on the firewall above the passenger feets. It is sandwiched between the VA unit and the firewall and the stock harness has been used.
I made my own bracket for the VA unit. It was made so that it was enough room for the ECM. My bracket also moved the VA unit more to the left so that the floor vents are more centered over the transtunnel. It required some cutting in the dashboard bracing.
Under the dash is usually the best, but try to also make it as excessible as possible also. In the event a wiring or PCM issue crops up, the last thing you want to do is disassemble the car to test a narness or replace a PCM. I have tuned quite a few hybrid LS cars as well as FAST and DFI and whent the units are really tucked away it can become a nightmare.
