Q- about 4th gen plastic tank swap

I figuerd out they will fit but i still have questions about the fuel pump and etc.
Heres the deal i can get my hands on what i think is a 6cyl 99 plactic tank. But my car is a carb.

So how do i hook it up if theres a fuel pump in the tank i get?? Also does anyone know if the fuel guage will work the same or not..theres still a debate going on I've seen.
hopefully someone can help out...
Thanks

if you have an electric fuel pump i am pretty sure you need a fuel pressure regulator. regulators

Take out the in tank fuel pump and put in a regular draw type setup. I just did it when I put a carbed engine in my car... don't think it can be much different on that tank.
