My thoughts:

No need to drain the fuel tank. The check valve on the fuel pump will prevent gas from leaking out if all you're doing is a quick change.

The center tunnel line is a flexible material that will age as well as the rubber/ crimp. I'd replace the whole line from the fuel tank all the way back to the hard lines near the tranny.

While you're replacing the lines, it makes sense to change the check valve. They're relatively cheap, and known to get sticky. The plastic seems to not like the new gas.

Doing a quality crimp is really hard for a home DIYer to do. I'd have someone with a real crimp tool do it. The only line that I'd feel comfortable making at home is the straight line that feeds the fuel pump.

Change the copper washers.
