Default cruise control vacuum canister

So after removing my front bumper, we found that there is a cruise control vacuum canister (at least thats what we believe it to be). The canister is located, if looking at the front of the jeep, on the passenger side, behind the front bumper near the horn. The question is, if replacing bumpers from stock to aftermarket, where do you relocate this canister to if you still want to have cruise control, as the canister actually mounts to the stock bumper. Also believe this canister is used by the AC system as well, but i could be wrong. Thanks for the help

Your vents are vacuum operated. when you accelerate they'll default to defrost and heat.
I moved mine in my '88 and '99 to the area near the distributor and held it in place with zip ties. The plastic hoses can be carefully flexed to reach the vac tank.
