Aftermarket fuse box placement

I'm about to install an American Autowire harness in my '69 Barracuda, and am undecided on the best place for the pre-wired fuse box. Above the kickpanel? Firewall right of the steering column? I could make a bracket to put it in the original location on the lower edge of the dash. What has worked for you?
I did away with the drivers side air door housing and plugged it off , up flat against the opening . Then installed the fuse panel in that general vicinity .All the air door ever did was blow dust and dirt in my face anyway , even on a brand new 68 form S , back in the day ...
