Electric fuel Pump placement

Hi all,

I have a Holley Mighty Mite electric fuel pump. I just tried to figure out where to implement it in the system back by the tank... the instructions say "no more than 12 inch from fuel tank vertically (bottom)" would one interpret that as "not more than 12" above the tank?" The pump is fairly small but there is no way i can put that thing anywhere on the frame without majorly replumbing the whole line. I have the pump and 5 feet of rubber fuel hose to work with. The instructions also recommend to mount it at a 45° angle. This alltogether is impossible!? Can anyone look at my pics and tell me if that placement should be a problem? I would want to keep the rubber hose to a minimum and would prefer the pump below the tank but there is no spot where that could be mounted.
