here's a link to convert your EFI pick-up to carb pick-up.

If you are using a mechanical pump do not put the filter in before the pump. You just need one filter after the fuel pump and be careful of the type of filter you use. Some of the cheap clear filters use to cause more problems and didn't work very well. Just keep the filter away from heat sources when mounting.

You could also use a fuel pressure regulator (return style) to regulate fuel pressure to 5psi. That way you won't have to drop the tank to remove the pump. Compared to dropping the tank this says it all (way easier). I use Mallory 4309 regulator and I love it.
