When I bought my 75 one of the problems (besides it not starting, and would not go into any gear other than 2nd and 3rd) was the pump was seized. I had to use a 72 pump from a parts car. It was a pain. I guess if I was doing the lines at the same time it wouldn't be so bad because the tank would already out.
However, I have A/C in my car, which takes up most of the front trunk. I simply had the lines run out the various holes in the bulkhead and mounted the pump (easy acess) in the trunk next to the condensor. What I used was a filter (I seem to remember it being from a 90's jeep cherokee) with a 3/8" inlet and a 5/16" outlet, unfortunatly it is also the size of a bloated Coke* can.It helps to convert the 3/8" outlet of the tank to the 5/16" inlet of the pump ( at the time I had a 74 tank in the car). Then I used a 3/8" NPT coupler with a 5/16" hose barb to 3/8 NPT, and a 3/8 hose to 3/8 NPT to go from the pump to the 3/8 feed line on my car. Like I said it was a pain. Think about how old the pump is, and do you really want to do it again. I would buy a new 75 pump and use the stock filter and mounting for a 75.
BTW the 72 pump finally died so now I have to take the tank out and start all over because of the second ruturn line isn't needed on my new fuel pump.
*Coke is a registered trademark, in using it I lay no claim to it or the Coke Co. Hey better safe than sorry, who knows, they might be jerks about it like a certain car company, but I digress.
