I would find somwhere under the hood to place it,in the bumper they are exsposed to the elements. Under the hood you can trace the lines easier as well when you do have leaks.

I did relocate mine to the area of my coil,yours is much different than mine. you can place it anywhere it will fit and not be damaged. When I relocated mine I used a different resevoir that looked like a stew can from an older jeep.
I think there some others on here that have done the same and read where one individual read a write up on it here or on naxja.

The resevoir acts like a resevoir for your climate control doors and heater control valve,when you accelerate engine vacuum will drop to 0"-5" under load,if not for the bottle you would always have your vents closed off during heavy load on the engine,the bottle has a check valve in it to hold vacuum until engine vacuum comes back.
If you have a vacuum operated front axle it also controls that.
