After going through several options, I was able to find a location to relocate the charcoal canister other then to the frame rail. Hopefully I can give someone else going through this decision another option, who is wanting to keep it functioning.
I saw many were locating it to the frame rail. Personally I didn't prefer this because it seemed to be a tight and cluttered fit. I looked into the ATR relocation kit route, but it was more expensive then I planned for, so I took a better look.
I found a metal tab that was sticking out from the driver quarter panel which already had a hole in it. I figured if I could drill one more hole I would be able to securely clamp it in an upright fashion (I've read about it being mounted horizontally, and I didn't think that's how it was manufactured to operate). Then I added in the hosing, splice and soldered the wires, and was finished. Now I just need to clean where the canister was and get ready for my new intake.
Here's finished product, I added a wire loom for added protection, zip tied everything together and ran it neatly.
