    My thoughts - some of which are repeats from above. Which side you use to run the fuel line doesn't matter. Use the easiest route. Mount the fuel pump to the frame, not to a sway bar, and make sure you use some rubber stand-offs to isolate for sound. Those Holley fuel pumps are noisy with a capital N. Steel line is better and cheaper than braided hose, and will last a lot longer.

    Also, make sure that your Holley pump is accessable. You may have to change it out. I quit buying them because I had too many fail. I have switched to Edelbrock Quiet-Flo pumps. They are quieter and don't run as hot.

    I did install a large, can-type filter right at the gas tank outlet, well in front of the pump. As Roger says, this may not be a good idea, but I have noticed no ill effects on pressure or fuel flow, and I monitor my fuel pressure at the carb.
