Pics of vacuum canister mounted under hood?

OK, my brakes suck because of my cam, and I have to install a vacuum canister. Summit sells one that measures 5x7. Is there anyone here that has pictures of one mounted? I'm trying to figure out where to mount it and try to visualize how much space it's going to take up.

Also, I'm assuming the canister goes between the intake manifold and brake booster?

Maybe mounting a higher capacity tank in place of the original is an option ?

Thank God for the good Ol' Shoebox !

That vacuum canister is stock and it's for the AC, it's not an aftermarket brake canister.

There are really not to many location where you can mount one. I mounted mine where my battery use to be. On the other side is where my CAI is located at.

So far it's working pretty good, I went ahead and added a guage inside the car to see how much vacuum it has stored in it. I have plenty of brakes at the line. Not to sure how it would be without it. But no since of taking a chance for me.
