Default Snorkel + chinese firedrill

After taking a bit of water in last week I've been thinking up snorkel ideas. The air box is driver side, so most exit the engine bay driver side..

But there's a perfect hole already next to the battery...

Is it possible to do the ole switcheroo airbox/battery, or will that make it so I'd have to relocate the fuse box as well?

I'm chalk full of dumb questions and ideas do feel free to make fun of me..

Seems it'd be easier to just do away with the stock air box and plumb the intake over to that side it you'd like to go out the passenger side.

Personally, If you must use a snorkel I'm fond of the cowl snorkel.

I think of you route you intake hose over the valve cover, the air you take in is gonna run much hotter...I know it has to do with air/fuel ratio, maybe one of the ol gear heads hear can elaborate better than I can : )
