Adding fuel pump

I want to add an inline electric fuel pump and regulator soon to my blazer while I'm doing an engine swap. Thinking of also adding 50 to 100 shot of nitrous somewhere down the road but I don't want to get too crazy with reinventing the fuel system. What are some things to look out for or any suggestion ya'll may have?
It's a '72 2 wheel drive with factory tank and lines, currently mechanical fuel pump. Thanks, I feel a ton of question coming on during this swap. Thanks in advance.

Re: Adding fuel pump

no help on the electric pump, but your setup is similar to what ive got running in my 71, base hp is around 450 at the flywheel and im running a Holley mechanical pump. i also plan on NX later and i can safely run up to 150shot on the mechanical ive got. anything higher and an electric pump is recommended. just some food for thought

Interesting lowriden58. I'll take a look at that route.
