Complete Fuel System - Tank to Carb questions

All,

I am replacing my cab tank with a bed mounted system and replacing all lines, fuel pump, filter and carb on my truck. I have some questions on the parts I am planning to use, as well as how to get everything together. Truck is a C20 350ci.

I plan to use these components:
Boyd aluminum tank (carb/side fill)
AC Delco standard fuel pump (autozone)
Edelbrock 1406 (600 cfm) or Edelbrock AVS1902 (650 CFM). Truck currently has the 1406 on it and needs replacing.
Edelbrock 1831 Carb inlet hose with metal filter.

My questions are mainly focused on the plumbing:
-Are there any fuel lines available that are already flared that can run from the bed tank to the pump?
-If I must flare my own, are there any lines to stay away from, or are they all the same?
-Do I use a rubber section of hose from the frame mounted hard line that feeds the pump inlet? Or can I use a braided steel line?
-Is a pre-bent and flared hose available that runs from pump to the carb inlet line?
-Has anyone used the edelbrock inlet hose with filter? Link below.

Ive obviously never worked with my own hard lines before, if there is any general advice on flaring, NPT to AN connectors, etc, please share.


Thanks!
