Oookay. Did you mean the coolant overflow tank, as you say in your first post, or a catch can as you titled the thread?
A coolant overflow can go virtually anywhere, and can be any shape. It's best if it's not too far below the level of the radiator. The crucial thing is that the overflow/return line is as close to the bottom of the tank as possible, so that you aren't sucking air back into the cooling system when the motor's cooling after shutdown.
A catch can -for sump vapors- can go even more of anywhere.

I kept my stock one and mounted it where the SMIC used to be. I bent up a quick little bracket....a little adhesive...done! I even have the factory low coolant sensor still plugged in.
