Default 1985 fuel pump help

so i plan on replacing my corvettes fuel pump after school today. I’m seeing many different things on how to do it

is it as easy as disconnected the battery and pulling out the pump in the back?

or do I need to drain the fuel tank or whatever blah blah blah complicated stuff ? Thanks

I just upgrade my fuel pump to Aeromotive. You need new gasket.
I also cleaned than tank of dirt.

I think summit has a kit with gasket/new bolts, all stainless....I used it the last time I put one in my 85....the new bolts are much better....it's not a hard job, but on a 85, if i'm going in there, i'm changing the sending unit too...new versions are all stainless and really hold up....you may need a new rubber "boot" too.....it's hard to get the old one off if it's crusty......have fun.....

Like they said. It is a pretty easy job. I have done three 84, 89 and 85. Enjoy
