Convertible spear tire relocation mod?

Hello,
In preparation for the warmer months and in the interest of trying to squeeze a bit more trunk space out of my 91 se conv I wonder if anyone has ever relocated the donut spear tire to where most 900s had it which was also on the left side only completely out of view sitting below the plywood trunk decking. When I first got the car I did a little poking around wanting to do this and soon identified the vacuum reservoir or tank spicific to the convertibles as the main problem. However, I recall dismantling a 88 convertible a few years back and I removed the tank/reservoir which I kept from the typical above the passenger side wheel well area. Was this only specific to the pre airbag/ABS convertibles. If so, can I retrofit or relocate the current tank. Also, I remember hearing somewhere that this may have been done due to the introduction of ABS in 900s(something to due with an ABS fuse box occupying part of this location)and in convertibles because they were lacking some type metal sill structure.
Any information will be greatly appreciated.
