Yes, you could pump it out with the fuel pump by hot-wiring it.

or you could disconnect the line off the fuel filter and use it by means of the siphoning effect to pull as much fuel as possible out that way. Just have a few 5 gallon buckets ready.

I know you say its a budget build... BUT... if the car is that clean and that original, don't try to cut corners, take your time, and do it right. I'm pretty sure you will though.

Thanks Paul,
Yea, im taking my time. I just have limited time on the lift at work to do the swap since I cant do it at home. The guy who is helping me says its no big deal but im just looking to be prepared for when the day comes. This will be my first motor swap. First priority is getting it running again and then ill be able to work on it at home to make everything perfect for it sees actual road time. Couldn't be happier to finally be doing this tho
