Fuel Pump Question
Is a 99' Trans Am fuel pump interchangable with a C5? Does anyone have a link for fuel pump install instructions? I googled it one time and came up with a really good site that a guy had put together with pics. It had instructions and pics for lowering a C5, racetronix pump install, and a variety of other things. I tried googling it but, I can't find it. I forgot to bookmark the page and now im kicking myself. Any help is much appreciated. 
Anyone? I need to get a stock fuel pump for my car and I have a guy that has one out of a 99' Trans Am.

I would contact Rick at Synergy Motorsports He knows C5's and f-bodies and should know the answer. He posts under the name Synergy Motorsports so if you do a search for one of his posts and pull up his profile you can email him.
He also hangs out a lot on www.norcal-ls1.com and posts under the name of hawk179 so that would also be a good place to try

What year/type C5?
I'm not familiar with the Trans Am fuel pump, but I can definitely tell you it won't work on mid model year 2003 C5s or later with the redesigned FFS Fuel system. GM totally redesigned the C5 fuel system in mid model year 2003 to accommodate future LEV 2 emission requirements. You can read more about the redesigned system at the Following link:
2003 - 2004: Service Information: Fuel Tank System
You may want to update your profile with your car's model year and type (coupe, vert, FRC or Z06) along with any other pertinent information. This could benefit others here when trying to provide help.
Good luck.
