For my fuel system, I'm reusing a Tanks Inc in tank fuel pump kit that I installed a few years back for the TBI. I am firmly in the "no external fuel pumps for EFI" camp.
What I ended up doing was replacing the pump with a proper one, and converting the whole system to -6 AN. No more hard lines or hose clamps on the feed or return lines.
Out with the old...
In with the new...
For filtering, I'm using a 2002 Tahoe filter from a non E85 Flexfuel version. Adapted to -6 with some Russell adapters. These same adapters thread into the back of the GM power steering pumps for converting those to -6 AN as well.
Made up some lines using Aeroquip Socketless hose and ends. A lot easier than traditional AN fittings. Dipping the hose in boiling water for a few minutes and lubing up the barbs with vaseline helped get them together.
And getting the lines connected to the motor is a set of hard line to AN adapters. One for 5/16 and one for 3/8. I wanted to use as much of the hard line on the LS as possible as it has nice brackets and follows the transmission nicely and stays out of the way.
