To add, I have the shifter out and gas tank out. I have a new grommet for the rear of the car and i have not pulled the front grommet out yet. I was thinking of using some soapy water to help the removel of it.

I removed the front and rear grommet and it was pretty easy, and thats with the shifter still in. With the shifter out you will have easier acess if it feels like its catching on something.

An extra pair of hands wouldn't hurt either, I had my wife lend a hand for a few min.

I think I attached a wire to the old lines before pulling them out.
Then used that to pull the new line through to verify they followed the same path.

I did mine just a week ago (after buying it 3 years ago) - it was the easiest thing I ever did which was really surprising. Was expecting to be a PITA. Basically just pushed and it slide right through the tunnel. Took a couple tries to line it up with the grommet in the front but it made it in.

I also took off the right rear wheel which helped with fuel line angles while installing. The old lines are held by bent tabs. You will need to bend them out by the looking in the cover holes and using a screw driver.

The larger one is supply to the engine (9mm), The smaller (8mm) is return. Some of the SS lines are all 9mm. you may have to use an adapter.

What is the best way to cap of the return? should I just clamp a piece of hose on it and plug it that way?

Yep. Find a metal pin that fits snug and clamp it in the end of the hose. I assume you're running carb(s) setup, No return line.
