if you have a 12 disc changer the panel is open on that side...so 'hiding' the bottle would be out of the question...

Did it come with instructions? Your only supposed to use the center hole or something, and not use the spacer? Maybe someone with a scanner could send you the directions, I don't have a scanner. Not even sure I can find my instructions in the mess I have going on.

Here is a link to the instructions

Like NHRATA01 said, Firebirds use different holes than a Camaro uses.
Hope that helps.

I used a nitro dave's mounting bracket that I had powder coated in wrinkle black. I think it looks much better this way, it almost perectly matches the center console. I have yet to install the blow down tube, It will be flexible and out under the rear passenger seat, and when my heater and remote gauge get here, I'll use a small length of hose to hide the sensors under the seat or bracket to keep it from looking cluttered. I also have a set of NOS quick release brackets on the way now. Too bad this thing isn't drilled for them. 
Thank You, all this helps it appears that my spare tire/power antenna bracket sticks out to far(or the bracket has extra metal). It looks like I can make it work by cuting about 1 1/2" off the area where the 860 mount is bent down.

Heres a few photos of the bottle mounted in my car. Through the windshield its hard to see because of the tinted windows. I love how it looks, it belongs on the tunnel.
And here is a photo of my nitrous pressure gauge:

So would a 15 lb. bottle with a remote opener fit in the spare tire spot with the 860 mount? Thinking if I sell the zex kit and get the NOS one I might bump up the bottle size to 15 so I wouldn't have to go get refills as much.
