Is there any prohibition against spitting in front of the Heichal in shul when I spit during the prayer of Aleinu? Someone told me that it is forbidden to do so and I could not find a source for it.

It is forbidden to spit opposite a Sefer Torah. Seemingly, for this reason many avoid spitting opposite the Aron Kodesh, which holds the Sefer Torah, and so explicitly rules the Ketzos Hashulchan that it is forbidden to do so.
