Default C5 Check valve relocation

Has anybody actually relocated the fuel line check valve without replacing the factory valve? I ask because GM put the 97-98 C5 fuel line check valve in such an out-of-the-way location that you pretty much have to take the rear end apart to get to the factory in-line check valve and the part is about $200, not to mention about 6 hours labor.
