Default LSA/LT4/Whipple Swaps - Tank Locations in Musclecar Era

For those of you doing LSA swaps into older musclecars, are you adding in a fill tank anywhere or just running the lines to the pump to heat exchanger with a fill cap in-line, etc..?

trying to look into what may fit within the engine bay for a smaller tank like on a CTS-V. I have the battery relocated to the rear in my '68 camaro and was thinking of putting something in that location. Not sure I wanted to run a tank all the way to the back trunk area.

I'm not running a fill tank or even a fill cap in my 1961 Impala which is fine until it's time to check the system or service something (i.e. PITA). Part of my 2019 plans are to fab a fill tank similar to what comes on the factory supercharged cars and place it at a high point in the system for easy filling, level checks and removal of air pockets.
