We just had ours welded on.  It really takes up such little room, that
there has never been a time I wished I could have the bracket removed.
If you really need measurements to where exactly it needs to sit, I can
take some photo's of mine with tape measures.  :)

As for the extinguisher, yes, it will not fit there anymore.  The seat
belt gets in the way.  I placed mine directly behind my driver seat,
where I can get it out faster anyway.  I don't have it mounted.  Its
just laying there.  Hmmm, does it need to stay upright?  I never even
thought about it.  You could probably mount it to the cabinet behind the
driver seat though.  Still easy access.
