Do not use a rubber fuel line between electric fuel pump and the carb or injection system.

Rubber ok between tank and external pump.

Yes there is.
KenSny is right. Only use the rubber hose where there is no pressure. You can bend a metal line up pretty easy for use anywhere there is pressure after the fuel pump.

Here's what it looks like on a 72. All of these lines you can see are low pressure. Two on the left side, one on top and two on the right side. In the lower right corner there is a stainless tube along the frame that has a 6 inch rubber hose going to the tank. With the in tank pump, that's the one that will have pressure.
