Default Returnless Fuel pump install Question

Don't know if anyone can help me on here, but I had a question about returnless fuel pump install for my Sierra. I purchased the 255 pump from racetronix for my truck, and after looking over the install instructions from the Magnusun supercharger kit, it looks like I can just remove the factory pump and install the new one, with out any modifications to the bucket. I was worried about the factory venturi system, but It seems that it fills from a different location, and not the pump specifically? So the bucket will still get filled even with an aftermarket pump? Can anyone confirm this?

I pulled some pictures from the instructions so you guys can see. Looks really straight forward. I just read all these return style install, and I see them cutting up the buckets to get the sock through, but if I don't have to do that, then id rather not.

ALSO, I see theres a brass fitting in that kit, which I don't have, but I will just reuse the stock one, and cut the hose off and re install new hose.

This just seems like its too easy so I gotta be missing something.

Take a look at my returnless build...It should clear up a few questions you may have....
It's pretty straight forward...

Yep looks like its what I was expecting it to be. Guess I just overthink things too much.

I always try to not only overthink, but over engineer stuff as well! You should see my hot water heater I installed lol....

I found tons of info on "return" set ups but not as many returnless bucket builds...That is why I sharred this one...Yes, I could have done a few things differently, but I know now what I can and can't do I guess...

Thanks again for the support from everyone here....pt.net rocks!
