That was the original location depicted in the plans... actually it was shown on the pilot side but the right side works better with where the engine drive fuel pump inlet is.
A lot of RV-6(A)'s have been built or updated with it located like the plans show for a carbed RV-7 or 9 (on the lower center firewall hidden behind a cover), but this also requires relocating the battery fwd of the firewall.
