1970 442 over flow position with washer bottle and canister on passenger side

What’s up Oldsmobile friends!

I am installing an radiator overflow. I need to know correct way to install with washer bottle and smog canister all in same area. I bought overflow from the Parts Place it came with bracket and spacer. The directions do not have washer bottle and canister in it. I am trying to build factory correct car. I know I can do without canister and I know I can move washer bottle but that would knot be correct. When I follow directions everything seems to be bunched up. I’ve seen the overflow positioned sideways also but do not have brackets. Can anyone please help with pictures or advice ? Thanks in advance!

Well, '70 did not have an over flow bottle, but the bottle you have is '71 or '72 and will fit '68 to '72. Where you have it placed is the correct spot.

But. If the 71-72 had the overflow doesn't the washer tank go on the other side ? So if it was a dealer installed option on a 70 wouldn't the same hold true ? IDK I'm just asking as it does look busy over there

I didn't think the e-vac canister came into play until the 71 year model. Am I wrong
or was that a California thing?

There's a lot of room there. Look under the hood of an Aurora.
