Default fuel line setup

I'm doing a swap of LS1 out of 02 SS and I'm planning on using C5 regulator/ filter setup with hight flow external pump and presure regulator/filter by the tank in the back.
Here is my plan.
3/8 from tank to pump then 3/8 to regulator feed on side of the regulator. Return 1/4 from center of the regulator back to the tank.
Then 3/8 from center of the regulator output port on the regulator to the fuel rails. From the purge solenoid return line back to the tank.
Does anyone see any problem with this type of setup for a bare stock setup?

Return should be 5/16

Thank you for the reply and sorry for the dumb question, but this is my first venture into LS engine and this type of setup.

Thinking of it as part to that I had missed in my original post. Does it make any differentce if the regulator is in the back or in the front?

what I'm referring to by purge solenoid is what I had marked in green.
