RB Carb Install.... Easy or Hard?

I need to get this project on the road. What problems if any will there be, or is it as easy as pulling old crap off and putting new stuff on. Need Help!

It's pretty straight forward if your mechanically inclined. Just take your time and you'll be fine.

Pretty simple. I did mine in a few hours, including the fuel pump, pressure gauge. Just disconnect your vacuum lines, throttle and choke linkage, OMP lines, fuel lines. You will need an intake gasket, and the 2 coolant o-rings, or 2 25mm freeze plugs. Good time to remove the rat's nest if not already done. I think the only vacuum lines I have are for brakes and dizzy. Plug the return line (smaller fuel line) with a vacuum plug or something and a hose clamp. DO NOT FORGET TO INSTALL THE SUPPLIED OMP ROD. You're stocker is too short. And I'll lay claim to it if you won't need it. PM me if you want to offload it.

Pretty straightforward. And self-explainitory

Did you just wire the new pump to the old pump wires?

You don't need it, Just let it vent to atmosphere.
