I got the pump unit installed between the frame rails, so I got all the engine compartment empty for everything else.
It's going to be tight anyway to get everything to fit. The two 5-way valve take a lot of room.
On the drawing the valves are the red ones.

I think I'm going to place the valves this way to get better access to hoses.
