That was my issue, to get the rear bench out, all the side bolsters had to come out, to get them out, the front seats would have had to come out, not to mention all the wiring and crap that is in the bench seats. Next winter project. Much bigger project than I thought, ended up modifying fuel rail.
Cut off the front of the fuel rail where the stock regulator was, drilled and retapped to accept a npt to an fitting. Same with the rear of it. Good clean look now. Mounted the merc separator on the front bulkhead, fuel pump mounted low in the bilge, fuel enters the rail from the rear through a 10 micron filter, exits at the front of the rail to the vacuum regulated bypass regulator on the bulkhead. Excess fuel bleeds off to the merc separator for now.
