Also, since the fuel pump is being replaced, the shop wanted to know if I wanted to have them cut out an access hatch or to leave it be? They said the car is too nice but wanted to give me the option, they did it on their F-Body's as well since it saves time/money to swap fuel pumps or make modifications.

Believe me they want you to do the trap door modification.
I ended up going this route after seeing how much work it was removing the aftermarket exhaust and having to lower the S60 down in order to get the tank out but if it's all stock then dropping the tank down is no biggie. I will say that it's nice to just break the seal and open the trap door to replace a fuel pump though.

That looks good, will have them move forward with this, I saw the main forum post regarding how you can do this, so that was a good source of knowledge. I'd rather have it and not need it, than try to get back into there next time in case I want a different fuel pump or replace the current one.

I've been very careful with storage techniques and fuel treatments to keep my pump in good working order for 24 years in a limited use role, but low mile cars that were not stored with careful attention to the fuel system often need a pump at this point (or sooner). I wouldn't expect the current market offerings to last as long as the original pump, so the access hatch is going to come in handy going forward (especially for folks without access to a lift).

Thanks for the responses, I am having the mechanic cut the access hatch. Seems like a useful mod and I could go in and swap a fuel pump in the future (no lift at home unfortunately). So I see this as a win win.
