Ok, with all that said:
I would never take this kind of job to a shop, i used a couple wraps of teflon tape probably out of force of habit on threaded stuff that fluid flows through, i never added or removed rubber or metal lines..just swaped the pump as is. I did however cut the long rubber hose from steel line to carb to neaten it up a bit, and maybe very slightly bend the line for a neat better fit. No leaks-runs superior.
Oh, and i painted the line black so it looks much better now.
