Question catch can mount on driver's side?

Anyone ever mount the catch can on the drivers side? I searched, didnt find much. Seems itd be more symmetrical looking with the condensor on the passenger side. Pics would be great! Thanks

All the plumbing is on the passenger side.

Yeah I did that once, had a large home-made can sitting in the space next to the radiator, with hoses running under the throttle body. Got rid of that setup due to hating to have to empty it. Sort of awkward to route the hoses that way due to very little space, but it can be done. Also the long hoses caused the air to cool off which caused lots of condensation, so the can was mostly catching water. I've now got another homemade setup that's much smaller and sits right over the ls6 valley cover pipe, and never needs to be emptied (drains back into the block).
