ok so i just bought this 86 berinetta(sp) camaro and the fuel pump is bad, so my question(s) are is there any concerns if i change it myself, i mean i now i hav to drop the rear end, but is there any short cuts? or any thing to worry bout electrical, other then the connectors? any help is much appreciated

 

I've changed out the pump twice so I'm by no means an expert, but here's some things I found that may help.
1. Pretty obvious......get the rear of the car as high as you can.
2. Since you will have to disconnect the rubber brake line from either the body or the brake distribution block on the rear end, nows a good time to replace it, since you'll have to bleed the brakes anyway.
3. Take a picture of the 3 rubber fuel lines that connect the sending unit hardline to the hardlines of the car.
4. Now will be a good time to replace the rubber fuel lines you just took a picture of while you have easy access.
5. Make sure you have a new rubber seal that goes between the sending unit and lock ring. For sure yours is shot.
6. It will be easier to install and remove the fuel tank if you have a second set of hand. It's not necessary but helpful.
7. Find a way to empty as much fuel as you can out of the tank as possible. It will make it soooooo much easier to maneuver the tank around to get the filler neck clear without having fuel sloshing around.
8. Since you will be disconnecting the rear sway bar end links from the body might as well replace those too. You can get energy suspension endlinks for about $15 a pair.

I'm sure I'm forgetting some stuff, but if I remember I'll edit or add

 

thank you for the tips
