Default LS1 vs. 3.8L fuel pump and lines

im looking into dropping an LS1 into my 01 camaro. I know i know i know, "you should just sell your car and get a LS1 car." But, this was a project my dad and i wanted to do but he passed away a few months ago so id really like to do it. my question is... I know i need a new fuel pump for the new engine because of the PSI difference. Are the fuel lines different from a 3.8 to a LS1? it is an 01 camaro.

The 3.8 does not have a tank mounted regulator so you will need to make some changes to the fuel system.

im doing the same swap so if you have any other questions go ahead.
and isnt the ls1's fuel regulator on the rail??

as far as lines i was told you would need to switch
it has somethign to do with the v6 having or not haveing a return line (its one or the other is the reason you need the ls1 lines) and a friend of mine is selling the lines off of his actually should you be interested.
