Whats the best way to replace the fuel pump in my 2000 Camaro? Drop the tank or is there an access plate under carpet?

Most like to cut a access hatch but I didn't want to cut my car so dropped the tank. Just finished today. It is a bit of a pain I had to remove the my watts link,exhaust and heat shields. After that I let the rear end hang with the car on stands and lowered the tank. I did not take it completely out just lowered it enough to pull the bucket out from the top. Replaced the pump and buttoned everything back up. Did this over a few days but probably about 4 to 5 hours worth of work taken my time. On thing that got me is the fill tube is bolted in. Just remove you cap and the black Round piece of plastic around the fuel neck and reach your hand in and feel around it a 10 mm bolt.

Cut the hole, if you are comfortable with a grinder and a thin wheel.

By the book you should drop the tank to inspect it.
