Default Fuel Line: Dual or Single

Ive got 1992 k1500 that im swapping a 2003 lq4
The trucks old fuel system has a feed and return line.
The intake and fuel rails i have from the 2003 motor has a regulator on the rail and a return line.
Will it be easier/cheaper to cap off the return line and use a corvette filter with the regulator.
OR
Is it easier to keep the return line and does that mean i have to get new lines for the feed and return?

Cheaper just to keep it like it is. Just hook the return to return and pressure to pressure. Then replace the intank pump to a higher PSI unit. You have to switch to the later slip on fittings or get adapters for the rails it sell.

So the stock hard lines will be ok with the increased pressure?
