I had to chop off the "bell" on the pick up tube that normally our pumps slide up into, then I just hose clamped the hose to the pump and the modified pick up tube.
That may work on a 1g, but on a 2g there is not much there to work with. You have to drill it out and install a bulkhead fitting.
Will this cover not pop off to expose two screws??? I don't run a 450, I have a Stealth 340 so I haven't seen one up and personal is why I ask.
I dont think that comes off. The best way is to cut off the connector and just use the supplied butt connectors.
Few questions, what part is the "fuel stock" you're referring to? I posted a pic of my kit and it only comes with some clamps, butt connectors, and a rubber hose.

this is the sock / strainer that I am referring to.
Worst case scenario you could use your old one until you get one of these. Im not sure how much of a difference it makes, but there is a significant size difference and im sure the smaller one is somewhat restrictive.
The nipple you're referring to, is it the one that has the o-rings and inserts into that tube looking thing at the top?
Yes, the ones on the top of the pump. Like I said, with the bigger sock and the bulkhead fitting I had to cut one or two of the nipples off for some clearance.
And also, I've read it's always good to do the siphon mod so I was going to do that. I believe it's supposed to be drilled to a 1/8" hole.
This is correct. Do not drill it out any bigger or you will mess up the venturi effect.
If you really wanted to get it done tomorrow, you could try to use the toyota seal on the fuel pump and use the stock fuel tube. No guarantees it will seal though and may only work temporarily. Some people have luck with it. The bulkhead is the proper way though IMO.
If you re use the smaller sock / strainer that is on your current pump, you should be able to get it to work. Depending on the fuel type / amount of fuel needed, you will have to more than likely do all of the above things. For a car that does not need a bunch of fuel, you could probably do without the upgraded fuel lines and the larger strainer. I however am on E85 and 33psi of boost (which I forgot to mention) so I need to flow more volume.
