u can squeeze a lil hose down there n syhpon it out...

disconnect a fuel line, turn the key to the on posistion to prime the pump, that will do the trick..

theres a way to jump the fuel pump so it runs constantly through the ALDL connector under the dash, i do not know the pimps to jump but i read its a possible way, do a search for it

theres some ways

a quick search i did for the fuel pump jumper is this

i use a 12v external fuel pump from napa, cost around 40 dollars. works very good for draining a tank.

isnt the v6 pump capable of enough flow to support a tpi setup? a buddy of mine did a v6mpfi to 350 tpi swap on his 89 and didnt change the pump and it runs fine...
