That sure makes for a much easier removal.

Yes. It is real easy to do. You will jack up the drivers side of the car. Just in front of the rear wheel you will see the tank shield. You remove that and you will see the pump hat assemble. Pull the lines off and unbolt the pump. Try and run as much fuel out as you can. Have a catch pan ready for the rest. The assembly just pulls out after being unbolted. I think racetronix has some decent instructions on this. I put their pump in years ago.

would like to thank all you guys for the info. What kind of pump would you recommend and do they come with the sender? or just get it from gm? And in the right tank its not really a pump (electric) so really i just need a sender, have a gauge issue, you know fuel gauge goes to empty.

I just redid my set up, this may help, these kits are really well put together and are a bargain for what you get.

The key is to run the tanks as close to empty as possible. (I carried a 1 gallon gas can with me when I knew I was getting close to empty) That way you won't have to deal with much gas if any. Also, I recommend you buy and INSPECT the new assemblies PRIOR to disassembling your car. I bought my new pumps but didn't pull them out of the box before pulling the car apart. One of the sending units was cracked so it had to go back. Lost a week of driving my car.
If you have the skills to pull the wheels off the car, you have the skills to replace the pumps. Just takes time.
