Unless you have the removable panel that was used in the later cars when the fuel pump was relocated to the front, I would recommend placing it under the car by the steering rack. You should be able to place it on the passenger side, parallel with the steering rack. I like the idea of having it out of the trunk, as a leak could be very messy if the fuel pump is mounted in the front trunk.
Having said that, that's what the factory did!
.... that's where the 1975-ish factory service bulletin instructed dealers & independent shops to relocate, attached up on the front firewall next to the circular opening to the tunnel where the fuel lines daylight & the fuel filter was also located there inline.
You need to remove the steering rack to access this area, & my mechanic who did mine in 76 ran the electrical wires for the pump from the rear factory location along behind the passenger rocker panel, then across to the pump up under the rack. Wires through the tunnel work too, but you'll need to make sure that it clears the clutch & accelerator cables & shift linkage for full movement, but I get nervous with wires next to the fuel lines, so I was good with the method my guy used.
Don't attach it to the steering rack sheet metal cover, as some have done.
You may also want to replace your OEM plastic tunnel fuel hard lines with SS ones (Tangerine & others sell them) at the same time.
Good Luck!
