Default First camaro! only one problum

i bought one with a bad fuel pump.....its not an easy job! i got about half way there today but ran out of daylight so i hope to finish it tomarrow or it might have to wait until monday.
Anyway it is a 1990 Iroc Z...5.7Litre...245 hp...345ft.lbs.....K&N filter(s)...THe guy i bought it from said its got a mild cam, Yank Yank, ill believe that when me **** turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert...lol! Here are a couple pics i will post more 2mro when it is daylight i am having some troubles with the pump job b/c i am doing it the right way droping the rearend not hacking it up...Maybe someone can help... i got the exhaust, sway bar, and the two bars that run from the drivers side bolted to the bottom of the car to the passenger side bolted to a bracket then another one that runs back to the drivers side kindof making a < anyone follow?....they are off and alsoall the heat shields are off but now my directions say to unhook the gas lines befor i drop the tank and i cannot find where to unhook them at...Avid mechanic full time driver so this is about the biggest job i have ever attempted by myself! Also there is a long bar that lookls kindof like pre assembled roof joyces or something runs paralell to the drive shaft the entire length of the driveshaft what is this called and do i need to unattach it to lower the rearend where it needs to go to wrestle that tank out of there? Best thing about the car i only got 1500 us dollars in it! Let me know what you think!

Welcome to the sight... I forget what you call that bar, think it's a torsion bar... to drop the rear you'll have to unhook it. other then that , nice car.
