sniper fuel injection

Hey everybody! I just joined the site and this is my first time posting, so please forgve me if I hit the wrong forum. I'll get better as I learn the site. I have a 1987 F250 XLT Lariat club cab 4x4 with the 460. The truck is a mid year biuld as far as I can tell thru researching the VIN and options. It came equipped with the holley 4 bbl carb. It has the pre lead free gas inlet for both the tanks (large diameter openings)and heavy gross weight suspension (8800 lbs). I am considering swapping out the carb for an aftermarket fuel injection most likely the holley sniper system. The tanks have the electric pumps and the truck is equpped with the hot fuel return system. I will have to remove the A.I.R. pumps to keep the O2 sensor from misreading the exhaust gases for the injection computer. I am wondering if I can use the stock fuel lines for the install. the pressure line isn't an issue - I can plumb the high pressure pump inline from the low pressure tank lines. The question comes for the return lines- can I use the return line from the hot fuel option to complete the system? Has anyone done this swap and how did you plumb the return system? Thanks!

George
