Default More ???'s on VP install

ok, it's going perty good, im quite suprised, I have a couple questions, I need help.

1) I can't get my VP unpluged, is there a trick?
2) I'm installing a Raptor100, I need a small block Chev block off plate right? Or what do I need cause I gota go get it, and it's Sun, and I wana make sure I get it before everything closes
3) What about my plug from my factory LP, just leave it unplugged? Im also confused a little on the supply line to and from the tank, one line goes to the LP and one to that funky factory fitting deal, kinda like a T fitting( I guess).
4) I'm not dropping the tank, so is there only one fuel line that runs to the front, or two?
5) Whats the best way to remove my factory LP? The bolts are turnin/ crusty, and I'm not sure, I don't wana F nuthin?
So far, the only thing that was a bitch was my #6 injector line, I'm only 160lbs so I got as much *** as my factory LP Man I appreciate all your help, I'm getting excited, I'm doing good

Thanks
Billy D

1)The connector to the VP44 has a slide lock on it. It is supposed to have a handle that can be pulled out, and it will unlock and push the connector out at the same time. If the handle is broken, like on mine, you will have to find a way to pull both the slides out at the same time.

2)Do you have a mechanical lift pump currently? IF so, you can remove it and block off the plate, or just let it run with no line attached.

3)I believe you need the factory plug for you lift pump to turn on your Raptor. Most fuel systems use that power as the "switched" power for the relay that controls the pumps actual power.

4)There should be two lines running from the tank to the front. One is the supply fuel line, generally the bigger line, and the other a return line.

5)The factory electric block mounted fuel pumps are usually installed with studs. Since you are replacing the pump for a better one you will be fine if you break the studs, or wreck it in anyway.

Hope some of that helps.
