Most people just move the items inboard of the supports I gather see here for various pictures for both 2l and V6 http://www.g8dhe.net/bongo_images/Heate ... ol_bongos/

Moved ignition coil as far forward as I could, egr tank as far backwards as possible and wiring a bit. Egr tank needed slightly longer hoses I used standard fuel pipe. If you’re routing your ducting to sliding door I reckon you can just move the tank
