Default Component Layout Question

Guys

New to jets but fairly experienced in RC, I have purchased an FB F9F Panther and a Kingtech 170, I have also bought Jetronic valves, Powerbox SRS and all the usual goodies that compliment them, I have been advised that it is wise to seperate all the electronic components from the fuel systems i.e. plumb the systems on opposite sides of the fuselage. Also, told to mount the turbine pump lower than the UAT etc, I would apppreciate some advice regarding these suggestions as to if it matters where I mount the various components, if you have photos of your set-ups that would be helpfull also. I have also noticed in some photos that the UAT is recessed and angled down i.e. the rear of the UAT is set lower, is this required as it seems to me that it would not matter all that much?

Thanks and Regards
Peter
