Default Ditching VST for Aeromotive fuel pumps help.

This winters project is ditching the VST's for Aeromotive pumps,filters and new regulators. These are 454mag MPI's I have return lines back to the tank already. Has anyone done this and have any pointers before I tear all this apart? Your knowledge my gain. I may be a little lacking on the elec. side...

A good idea (IMO) is to put them on a switch, so you can turn the key on for what ever needed reason and not have to be running the fuel pump.

Another plus to this is when the boat is parked somewhere and you turn the switch off, it makes it a little harder to steal when the thief cant figure out why the boat wont start b/c theres no fuel pressure.
