I just dropped the tank on mine. Only took a little over an hour, super easy if you can put your car on a rack. Plus you don't have a hole in your floor pan.

I Droped The Tank On My Vert I Believe Cuting A Hole Is The Short Cut Way And A Hack Job If You Ask Me Plus You Can Inspect Your Gas Tank And Lines Properly If Gm Wanted You To Change The Fuel Pump Without Dropin It They Would Have Provided An Acces Panel To Do So And The Manual States To Drop It They Would Not Make You Go Through Extra If They Did Not Think It Was Nessesary!
