OMC V6 fuel pump removal

[Lockjaw]

If I remove the factory fuel pump, is there anything I need to know about? The oil injection is already disconnected, and I will be running an electric pump.

You have to plug off the surge line that makes the pump work, I think it takes a 1/8" npt plug

just like he said you block off the vacum line that comes from the front of the case i just went to the hardware store and bought a copper plug for it (and sealed the threads)there are 2 ts behind the fuel filter (depending on what year it is)obviously one is going to the choke cylinder and the other goes to what looks like a small regulator,leave it all in tact.and buy a holley red.
