Default Fuel pump questions

The fuel pump on my '03 Z06 is toast and needs to be replaced, as per my prior thread. Two quick questions:

1. Is there an aftermarket in-tank fuel pump, or is the AC/Delco OEM pump the only one available? (I have the non-return FFS system, late '03 car).

2. On that system, I understand the fuel filter is in-tank as well. Is the filter part of the pump assembly or is it a separate item?

Muchos thankos.

As far as the filter goes I understand that the early model 03's have a filter outside the tank (Mine Does) and later in the year they went to the in tank model. Your suppose to be able to tell by the label in the glove box door. If the RPO code has FSS then it is in the tank. BTW if it is like mine the filter is on the drivers side frame rail by the left rear and up high.

Mine is a later '03 car, and has the FSS code. It is definitely an in-tank pump. I understand the filter is in the tank as well, but is it part of the pump assembly so that it would automatically be changed with the pump, or is it separate? That's the question. Anyone know??
