Don't take away the one in the carb! Like Rspears says, run a "primary" between the pump and carb but keep the one in the carb. (I don't remember GM's with it like that but it'll protect your carb!)

I trashed many quadrabogs 'cause someone was hamfisted getting the filter housing back in and either over tightened or cross threaded the filter housing.
Don't be one of those guys and take your time, make sure the threads are aligned and straight.
