Sanden compressor orientation

newtonMember

I am in the process of installing a new Vintage Air Sanden SD-508 AC compressor and need to verify the proper orientation.

It appears that installing the compressor with the filler plug pointing to 9 o'clock would provide the best access to the service ports. The Vintage Air instructions that came with the compressor warns not to exceed 90 degrees as it would affect oiling of the compressor. This means my compressor would be oriented at the border of what they consider acceptable. What compressor orientation have
others used?

Also, it appears 45 degree fittings with service ports would provide better access than 90 degree fittings. Any comments?
