I read on Wiki that using the deck cannon was not possible with the under-hull auxiliary tank:

"Original production MiG-29 aircraft cannot fire the cannon when carrying a centerline fuel tank as it blocks the shell ejection port. This was corrected in the MiG-29S and later versions"

Is that true or not? I know that there is a hole through the tank to vent the gases from the APU, but this is the first time I've heard of this restriction...

I tried and with the tank suspended I can use the cannon normally. Should it be automatically blocked or does the pilot just have to be careful and not use it?
Can you please direct me to the page number of the manual? Thank you

Yeah, same for me.
Also, could not find anything in the manual either ... Looks like gun CAN be used with the ventral tank.

EDIT: 
Wait, is the small  " later fixed in 9.12a jets" tag means that the cannon can be used in our varsion ( as it's like not the first version ? )

I'm not sure... it probably shouldn't be like that, because as I understand it, the tank blocks the opening of the shell ejection cover...
