Fuel Tank/Pulsator/O-rings/Pump

Fuel Tank- I found an easier way (for me) to get my tank out, although I think someone mentioned something like this before. My filler neck kept getting caught on the top of the opening in the body. Mine was kind of rusty so (after 2 1/2 hours of trying not to mangle anything) I took the trusty ol vice grips and that stupid tank was sitting on my floor. Hooray!

Pulsator- I've read that I should just delete this piece. I am thinking that is a good idea since I bet that is the reason for my pressure loss. My question is how noisy IS it w/o it? My car is pretty loud already so what would I be in for if I rubber hosed it instead?

O-Rings- I've read on here that I should have o-rings at the fuel filter. Is this right? There were none on mine and I had no leaks. None were provided with the new one I bought either. What's the right answer here?

Fuel Pump- I got an Edelbrock 67gph badboy a couple years ago and paid somebody to put it in. When I got the assembly apart tonight, I saw that my pump is a Walbro. Does Walbro make them for Edelbrock or was I shafted?

Misc- does anybody know where I could look (Advance/AutoZone/GMPD doesn't have them) for a fuel supply line (the one that is part rubber, part hard line coming off the tank) and a clip that holds the hard lines to the frame?

Thanks to all who respond..

I think Walbro might make the Edelbrock pumps... But if not, I'd say you still got out okay, Walbro is one of the standards for high-output pumps...
