Gas tank problem
I have a 1973 Corvette, and I think the gas tank has been replaced. There seems to be a problem — some of the fuel lines are disconnected or missing, and I’m not sure what they’re for.
What’s the solution, and how can I fix this properly?

The picture of the fuel pump shows the return line has been disconnected at the pump and also at the tank.
Is there a pipe on the tank passenger side that is plugged?
On the driver's side you should have a connection to a vapor separator that connects to a pipe going to the charcoal canister in the engine compartment.
Is the charcoal canister still there?
