I installed an X-5 a few years back on my 35-3 (it worked perfectly out of the box, so don't fret too much).
The fluxgate is in the wet locker (like Joel's) - near the mast and pretty low down to reduce motion, away from other wiring to reduce electromagnetic interference. The course computer (separate from the control head on the X5) is in the over-settee locker on the bulkhead just ahead of the nav station - close to the switch panel for wiring, dry, conveniently between connections for the other components. You don't have many options for the control head / wheel drive... but, my control head seems to be where some people rest their knees in the cockpit, and it is possible to press buttons with knees even with the cover on, which can be interesting the first few times.
