Thanks. So from start to finish, what's the total average time  needed to 
do this?

Depending on your mechanical skill, and IF you have the needed parts,  
about 45 minutes. I say that, as you'll need a can to hold the gas you drain  
out, and you have to remove the "Y" out of the hard line return &  
"overflow/overpressure" hoses from the stock pump. I try and move the pump to  the 
center of the beam (yes, you can still use the stock pump brackets), which  
means I'm adding about 18 to 20 inches of hose (so I have a nice lazy bend in  
it). But, I try and replace the "return" hose from the pan to the tank with a 
 new hose too, mainly because they don't get changed very often. I'd buy 
about  5 ft of 5/16ths inch fuel hose (doesn't have to be FI rated), and 8 FI  
style hose clamps, and just do the job. That'll be enough to go out of  the 
tank to the new fuel filter, out of it to the pump, then out of the pump  
to the left (driver's side on LHD cars) hard line. Along with doing the right 
 (passenger side LHD cars) hard line and then straight into the tank  
(return fitting).
I hope this helps.
