Here is a quote from the installation instructions for your Aeromotive pump... They say that the pump should be gravity fed..
Aeromotive Quote
""To use this pump in your vehicle’s fuel system, we strongly recommend the following:
A by-pass style fuel pressure regulator must be used in the system.
Gravity feed the pump by mounting it lower than and as close as possible to the fuel tank.
If you are using a stock fuel tank, install a reservoir style sump in the bottom-rear of your fueltank. Exercise extreme caution and follow all manufacturer’s recommendations wheninstalling a reservoir style sump.If you choose not to install a reservoir style sump, then you must install a high flow capacityfuel tank pickup.(Installing a high flow pickup instead of a reservoir style sump mayshorten the fuel pump life and cause driveability problems. Stock fuel tanks have a smallinlet reservoir that is quickly emptied by a high flow fuel system, causing pump starvationand cavitation. When using a pickup, you should maintain at least ½ tank of fuel in thevehicle at all times, to avoid emptying the stock inlet reservoir.)Utilize AN-08 size high pressure fuel lines, fittings and o-rings for all connections from the fuel tank pickup to the fuel rails in the engine compartment. (Call Aeromotive for availability.)""
It it were me I would rethink the plumbing now, before you find out the hard way it dosent work... The pump you have can be mounted inside the tank, and as you have a nice big flange on the top, that would seem to be the way to go.
If you dont want to take my word for it, then email Aeromotive - they are very helpfull & will tell you if your system will work or not..
