I know the easiest way to replace a fuel pump is to cut out the panel in the back behind the rear seat instead of dropping the whole rear out from the car. Im not too sure where you can find a how-to on cutting it out but Im sure there is someone on here who knows. And for the kind of pump.. I have a 500lph granatelli pump in mine but that was a lot of fab work. A walboro 250lph pump is a good pump. You can get one of those off of ebay for pretty cheap.
Try a search first, but here is a good writeup that helped me out if you don't want to make a trap door in your car:

You can drop it enough to slide the tank out. Its not a big deal, certainly not worth cutting a hole in the car over. Cutting the trap door is the lazy way out. What next hack holes in the inner fender well to get at the number 8 plug?

I was just thinking about doing that....................LOL
i did two this weekend where i cut both trap doors, i use an electric regular skil saw, just with one of those cutting wheels thats black, its so big and fast and you can adjust it like your doing an angle cut so that way only like a 1/4 in of the blade is used.. that means you cant cut too deep and accidently cut the tank or lines, took 1 hour for both....
another tip is i got a sheet of aluminum at the hardware store and riveted 4 rivets and sealed with caulk, looked clean even though it was covered with the carpet
