Jack it up in the rear, put jack stands under the framerails, then undo the top mount for the two rear shocks. Also undo the panhard rod where it mounts to the unibody. Slowly lower the rear until you have enough room to get to the tank. Then loosen the filler neck where it connects to the side of the car, undo the straps, and lower the tank.

Good topic because I may have to do this as well.
And because I'm a tool, I assume the tank needs to be drained before doing this right? Can't just drop the tank and replace the pump without having an empty tank?

It's far easier to drain the tank first.....gas is heavy.

What gave me the most difficulty was getting the exhaust off because it was all welded together up to the cat. So I had to wrestle it all out.

You could put a TPI pump in, but really no need to. MPFI and TPI's run around 38-42ish PSI. TBI needs around 14 PSI. The regulator would control it anyways.
