Just finished. Took three hours. My comments follow.

1) Your guidance and details are right on the money. I waited a day and didn't see any other comments so I got the courage and winged it through. Wish I had read your post first.

2) The coupler that goes off to the right, just below the electrical connections, is a pop-off connection. I managed to mangle it, but discover it how it pulled off when I reconnected the sending unit hoses.

3) The pump I purchased is manufactured by Airmaster. They have a toll free tech line in Illinois. I called because I discovered two part numbers that corresponded to Volvo's 350XXXX number. The E3210 and the E8279 look similar but they are not. The E3210 is for the 740 and the other for the Regina 940 vintage. The 940 pump is rated at 10 gallons per minute higher. The manufacurer said you might not notice in the beginning, but as the pump breaks in and ages the weaker pump will create performance problems on the 940. The pump that came out of the car was a AC Delco.

4) I did not install the rubber insulator because I figured I didn't need it because the old one had none. This pump is a little louder than the OEM. The insulator would have made a difference. It's done now and I don't care to go in there again. At least I know the sound now and can easily discern when the pump is working.

5) Prior to the pump failure I had notice a hesitation on take off. My car is much peppier now.

Thanks for your post. I appreciate it.
