Default 2.1 v6 cruise control, need help

Hello friends! I need your help. I want to install cruise control in my x-type 2.1. I can't figure out where the cruise control unit is located. Who has such a car with cruise control, please take a picture. From the cruise control there is a throttle cable to the throttle valve. Many thanks!

Don't have cruise control on my 2.1, but did find a photo online of the engine bay showing the cruise control actuator cable attaching to a secondary coupling on the throttle spindle cam.
The actuator body has its own mounting bracket which most likely attaches to either some mounting holes cast into either the inlet manifold (underside) or the topside of the gearbox casing.
The photo does not show mounting bracket or actuator position, but you can see the throttle cam with the secondary throttle cable attaching to it and that secondary throttle cable heading towards the firewall then inwards under the intake manifold.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thank you for your answer! I also looked for a photo and saw where the cable goes approximately. The fact is that I even removed the expansion tank and did not find a place for the cruise block. I don’t want to remove the brake booster in vain) Maybe someone will send a photo)
I didn't think about the intake manifold, I'll check today.

The cruise control throttle cable does appear to bend towards the back of the intake manifold.
So either the mounting bracket attaches to:-
Te fire wall (pretty tight there already with the evap solenoid and HO2 sensor connectors on a bracket there),
To some possible bolt mounds cast into the intake manifold (your intake manifold is different from mine too)
Or bolts down to the top of the gearbox.

Do you have the associated original cruise control actuator mounting bracket and also the small rotating throttle cable connector?

Yes, my unit is with a bracket. On one side of the bracket it has two pins, and on the other side there is a hole for the m6 bolt. I don't want to take off the intake manifold or the brake booster in vain, because the work is difficult, that's why I asked for a photo. Thank you for your help.
