Is there anything that I should give attention while the fuel tank is out?

I have already:
  • Rebuilt and installed steering rack
  • Replaced lines to brake master cylinder
  • New fuel sock / screen
  • New gaskets for fuel pipes

Does the box in top center of photo, which I believe is the Fresh air inlet box, need anything and does the fuel tank need to be out to do it?

Our car is a 1970 914-6. My understanding is charcoal canister didn't appear until later.

Tips on installing the fuel hose to lines so I don't end up with a leak?

Thank you.

There is a drain at the bottom of the gas hole. Make sure it is clear. There should also be a couple of pads/carpet type pieces that are glued in place. The help noises and metal to metal rubbing if the tank moves a little.
