Racetronix install with pics 
As you can see in the pics, it wasn't the cleanest cuts but I am still in the process of cleaning those up. I am going to be putting a piece of sheet metal that is painted over it and making it clean. The racetronix's instructions for removing the pump are thorough and wow are they nice. My buddy and I did the install in about two hours with cutting the trap door. We used a 4.5" angle grider and just bairly cut through the metal for the back line. the rest was using a pair of tin snips and slowly removing the metal. I was suprised on how far back the pump sits on the 99 on up tanks. I was looking at the LT1 pump locations and those are dead smack in the middle.
If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them. Tomorrow I am going to be putting in the hot wire kit. I think that if you need a single pump kit that you can't go wrong with the Racetronix kit

WOW! I felt bad cutting out the small door that I did. I used a dremel with a fiberglass reinforced wheel and about 5 minutes of time. I went a lot easier than I thought it would. I also installed the Racetronix kit and was very happy with the way it went.

I was really surprised how easy the cutting went. Just be sure not to use the standard cut-off wheels and go with the fiberglass ones instead.

we did mine in 2 hours because we domumented everythign because I am going to have to do it the exact same thing to a T/A in a couple weeks. I did the wiring harness today and that was easy to put up. I ziptied it to the fuel lines all the way up to the alternator.

I followed the same method with the fuel lines and even went behind the heat shielding up front there.
