Compressor mounting on it's side

I have a custom build going and I am looking at using a Denso 10pa17c. Is it possible to mount this compressor with all mounting bolts facing straight up and the hose manifold on the side? I've spent several hours on Google with no answers. Thanks

Fittings pointing on the side should not be an issue. Just do not point downward.

Thank you for that. Can this compressor be run in either direction? The one I pickup up came off an accord where the engine runs counter clockwise when looking at the pulley side. I see it listed for a lot of applications that are standard rotation also.

That makes sense on the compressor design and rotation.
Can you elaborate on the second part? I'm not exactly sure what you mean about suction gas flowing upwards.
