And while you are there, replace all the screws retaining the fuel pump flange to the tank with stainless hex head bolts. It will make removal much easier next time.

Run the car (warm it up obviously) and before you start to remove the fuel pump, disconnect the connector and let the engine stall. You will still have some residual pressure in the lines so as others have said, wrap a rag around the end of the hoses as you pull them off.

I've never bothered with letting the engine stall before disconnecting the fuel lines. If it's sat for a few hours at least, the fuel pressure in the lines will be minimal. I just had my fuel pump out this weekend, and barely lost any fuel when I took the lines off.
Also, removing the fuel pump assembly, then pulling the fuel sock off is a very easy job, as long as you are careful with the small phillips head screws. It's about a 30 minute job really.
