I THINK.. lol but something just crossed my mind....

i have bought the ac delco 381 pump along with a new 98 fuel sending unit (the whole in tank module) which came with a pump and all...i bought the new unit because it comes with the pressure sensor which i need for emmissions. i was gonna swap in the new pump and buy the EXPENSIVE ASS SUBMERSIBLE HOSE from napa but then i thought WAIT A MIN!!! isnt the newer style pump and hose already rated for the higher fuel pressure due to it being made for the vortec style motor? what im asking is do i really need to take they time to swap those parts off the unit or can i just drop it in and run with it???? obviously that would be the preferable way.... let me know!!! im about ready to swap the unit out! thanks!
Your new style pump and hose will work fine. That sending unit was made for the higher pressure. The only thing that you may have a problem with is your fuel gauge but i may be wrong.
