This kit in the link below or you can piece it together, but the kit from Dennis is well worth the $$ for ease and quality.

How well set up is your work area?
Reason I am asking is what I did is to migrate my fuel pump to the end of the pickup.
That is the best setup IMO because it pressurizes the entire fuel system and the pump does not have to pull the fuel to itself at all.
One of the principles of hydraulics is it is a LOT more efficient to push the fluid instead of pulling it.
Look in my gallery "Fuel pump in the tank" for some pictures that I took.

I will third the Kit from Dennis at ITP. I could have pieced a DIY kit together, I'm sure, but after all the running around to get all the pieces it was much easier and more cost effective to get the kit.
I believe(I could also be wrong) that the main concern with air in the fuel comes from the quick connects before the fuel pump, where the pump is sucking fuel instead of pushing it. The same would apply to the return, they are under positive pressure(pushing) not negative pressure(sucking)
