Sure it will fit there. But do you really want it there? As you install stuff, keep in mind maintenance and repair. That's an inconvenient place to work on. If you have to R&R that part in a year or two (new parts fail), is it going to be an exercise in frustration? Remember that the body cowl is 5-6" forward of the firewall, so you'll have to reach under the body and behind the intake.

Move it over to the driver's side. Plenty of room, and easy access.
