Depends which year that you have.
In the middle of the 03 model run, the factory switched over to the tank.

I've got an 02, so I guess tank removal is not necessary?

Does anyone have a write up on pulling the tank to replace the pump on a 2004 Z06?

I have a 1984. It had been running fine. Did some interior work and replace the door loacks and now it won't start. thinking it might be the fuel pump. If so do I need to pull the bumper and drop the tank to replace it? Also been reading about this VATS not sure if I have it or not, but could this be the problem or just a coincidence that it won't start after replacing the door locks? I can spray ether and it starts.

Have you checked this out? It is direct plug-n-play for late model C5s with top-loader fuel pumps. It will probably eliminate the "need" for a BAP. I would still recommend Racetronix "hot wire" direct wiring harness as well, regardless of which way you go.
