Hotwire question

Going from 3.5 carb to 3.9 hotwire in my Devon
Mocked up the efi on my old engine in the car for set up
To fit the avaliable space can I turn the airflow meter 90 degrees so the wiring connection is at the top ? or mount it behind the engine up on the bulkhead were I have more room ?

Range Rover throttle cable bracket, this is too wide is a smaller one avaliable ?

Thanks

Don't think a hotwire unit will be worried about orientation.
