Shad,
I'll be finishing at 10. Mines mounted in the rear now beside my drawer system. Not sure if you could do the same, but have a look anyway if you like.
OM&M.

I have my one under the
seat with both lockers connected, just move it around a bit and put elbows on the air lines.
Nice and easy.
Have fun

Im in the process of making one to fit in the bull bar, havent done it yet but depending on your bar, there is quite often a bit of spare room in there.

I have a Big Red compresser under the bonnet.
It is bolted to a flat board (5ply) which is trapped under the second battery so that the compressor is is between the battery and the grill. The hose connector is at the top and I have not permanently wired it.
To use, lift bonnet, connect hose, put clamps on battery. It has lived and worked there for several years now.
Carrying the hose is the pain. It travells in the back somewhere beside the fridge as under the
seat is occupied by an inverter.

Shad,
plenty of options for an 80 series
I got 3 air compressors.
1 under
seat for air locker
1 under bonnet passenger side , behind battery,On metal shelf above wheel arch which is connected to air
tank behind bullbar.
1 in the drawer unit (portable unit)
justs takes time to make up all the mountings to miss all the other bits and pieces
cheers
Howard
