Its a bit more than loosening the straps. You need remove the spare tire bucket. Then there are 4 bolts (2 each side) that hold the tank support bar in place, then loosen the strap nuts. Put a floor jack under the tank and let it down a couple inches then go in thru the gas goor and cut the hoses (3) and disconnect the ground and fuel sensor wires. Then it will come out. Siphon out the gas first.

why don't you try an internal cannister type pump??
Take a looksee at my pics off to the left for ideas. It's a lot less hassle than creating a sump.....and there's a multitude of internal cannister-type pump nowadays...and, on my 68, I didn't have to remove the tank...I did all the work from the top.
