Replacing my fuel pump - looking for tips

Aye, It's time to replace the fuel pump. I know that many out there have done this before, so i'm looking for some tips to help smooth the process along. Specifically, does anyone have a walkthrough of the proceedure? Pictures? Know of a helpful thread? I'd appreciate any and all help that you fellow thirdgen'ers can add.

Also, what should my proper fuel pressure be for a stock 5.0TPI

Oh, btw, I have a 88 Trans Am GTA w/ the 5.0

thanks always in advance

Your stock fuel pressure should be around 45 psi.

I have no idea for the fuel pump....all i know is that the rear end has to drop down some. I hear its a real pain to do if you dont have a lift. Good luck.
