Question Quick Pressure Sensor spatial orientation question

So with my sickness of trying to remove everything not needed in the engine bay-

The "N370 Pressure Sensor" which is connected to 1. the vac lines and 2. the electrical harness
-and is located on the front right (Passenger side) wheel well

Does it need to be upright?

It's bracket is mounted to another bracket, and I could simply bolt it straight to the wheel well and remove the extra bracket-

but it would be sitting at a 45degree angle to it's current position.

I know the AFM is often considered something that's supposed to be horizontal and even, is the pressure sensor the same?

Thanks-
steve

if you change vac lines while cleaning up make sure to take the "pill" out of the vac line to the pressure sensor and put it in the new line. People have experienced hesitation with the removal of the "orifice" due to early fuel cut caused by pressure spikes.

Thank you for posting a very descriptive thread title as well... "help" or "quick question" gets old.
