TBI cars also had an electric pump. AFAIK, all carbed engines still used the mechanical pump, but there seems to be some confusion in '86 and '87 carbed cars.

I was wondering the same thing when I carbed my 82 Z-28 I just pulled the fuel pump fuse and let my mechanical pump pull through my pump in the tank, and it worked just fine, but when I tried the same thing with my 89 RS it wouldn't suck any fuel at all so I had to drop my tank and remove the pump and extra line to reach the bottom of the tank.
