Default Regulator questions.

Just got an aeromotive regulator, and after talking to a friend of my dads, am rather worried about some things.
1) Can I mount the regulator under the car just in front of the rearr wheel?(82 malibu wagon)I didnt see a problem with it, but Im no expert.
2)Will the return have a lot of pressure in it? Since the volume is almost unlimited, I would think it shouldn't have much pressure in it.
3) Can I use the factory vapor line asa return? I have been using it for the past month with no problems, but not sure if thats just luck.

1. Yes it will be fine on a moderate HP application (500rwhp)

2. There should be no pressure in it unless it is too small.

3. Maybe, depending on the volume of your pump. The return should be approx 5/16" minimum, but I prefer 3/8"
