I'm running this, too..
The way I installed it: Get under your car, just in front of the passenger side rear wheel. Look around, and find the fuel line.
There will be a soft line, screwed down to a hard, metal line. Unscrew that fuel line ( i used a pair of pliers and a 14mm wrench), and wait for the gas to spray everywhere.
Once it is loose, cut that soft line about 4 inches back from the metal fitting on the end. Make sure the section of line you are cutting off is long enough to go from the outlet on the airtex pump to the hard line without kinking the line. Install the cut off portion of the soft line onto the outlet of the fuel pump and hose clamp it. It points straight up, and will have to bend at a 90* angle to meet the hard line.
The pump comes with a section of fuel line, and an internal brass butt style connector. Take that fuel line, with the connector in it, and ram that sucker into the other end of the soft line (coming from the fuel tank). Hose clamp both lines. (this is harder than it sounds.. that butt connector is big, the hoses are a bit too small.)
Connect the now lengthened line from your tank to the inlet of the fuel pump and hose clamp it. Reconnect the soft line coming from the pump's outlet to the hard line and make sure it is tight.
I secured my pump the the rubber covered, steel reinforced tube that my emergency brake line runs through. I haven't had any problems with it being loose or moving. The fuel lines also help to keep it stable.
As for power, i got it from the relay used in my fuel pump rewire. The location given (just about the only place you can mount it) puts the pump almost directly below the interior access panel to the stock (or walbro intank) pump under your back seat. If you haven't done the rewire, i highly recommend it, as the two pumps you are using, if wired to the stock power supply, will probably blow a fuse. they draw a lot of current.
As soon as my car gets out of the bodyshop, i'm going to take some pictures of the way i'm set up. I'll try and get Juan to host in in the mods section.
