Fuel pump and throttle linkage questions

I'm in the process of putting in a new 80gph fuel pump and I noticed that it only had an inlet and outlet but the stock had what I believe to be a return line,inlet,and outlet.
How should I go about plumbing my new setup?
Problem number two which really isn't hard to fix but I'd rather do it right than rig it up or fabricate a bracket of some sort.
I have a weiand stealth intake manifold and a 600 cfm carb with a cheap throttle linkage bracket but the throttle cable and the transmission cable thing (Some call it the "TV") are too short.
I'll post pictures soon.
Thank you

For the fuel pump, just cap the factory return line to the tank.

would that create a vacuum of some sort in the tank and cause a problem with the fuel pressure?
Does anyone have anything to say about the trottle linkage?
