On my 90' its in front of the gas tank bolted to the floor. You'll most likely need a screwdriver to pry off the plsatic hairpin clips and loosen the hose clamp that mounts the filter if it's the same. Of course, you'll need to relieve the pressure on the lines first. About a 15 minute job. Make sure the new filter comes with new plastic clips.

Behind the tank is the electrical connector for the pump. Pull it, run it til it dies, then proceed. At least I think thats how it goes with that method. But if you pull the clip at pressure, it'll blow and create quite a nice mess.

so with the car off, I unplug the electrical connector from the pump, and it'll run, then die. take out the pump, put in the new one, then plug the connector back in?

Pretty much but the filter not the pump.
