Re: oil feed and return?
there may be tq specs for them but i just tighten all mine with a wrench , i pretty much snug them real well and never had an issue.
the feed/drain can be stright up and down, but anything upto 15* off vertical is fine

Re: oil feed and return?
ls oil pans have a location above the filter for pressure feed.
Return can go back to oil pan or timing cover.
I prefer timing cover return. Easier to swap out timing covers than tapping pan.
I prefer to not tap pan with it still on the car. I just dont want to chance aluminum shavings tearing up anything.
