Default sumped tank guys, I need install help.....

I just got my fuel system in from X2C. I put the -6 return, the float unit, and the vacuum return in the new tank and installed it on the car. The -6 line is hanging out the front of the tank ready to route. I have a few problems with the rest of the setup.
I'm running the twin Walbro GSL392 pumps with a single Aeromotive 100 micron filter. I don't have the filter yet but it's on the way. The lines are as follows, -10 from the tank to the filter. Filter into a Y block. Y out to twin pumps through -8 lines. To another Y through -8 lines. From Y to front of car through -10 line to another Y. Then to the rails through -8 lines. from rails to Paxton reg through -6 lines and single -6 back to the tank.
Do the pumps and everything before them need to be mounted below the supply fitting on the tank? They'll be very low!!!
I shouldn't use teflon with fuel correct? Some of the fittings are threaded in and not sealed by AN fitting or O ring, so I was wondering about sealing them.
Does anyone have any pics of the pump assembly mounting by the tank? I'm wondering what to do about a bracket for all this stuff I have. It'll be pretty long I guess. I'd like to conceal as much as I can up under the bumper.
Has anyone routed the lines up in the tranny tunnel? I can't fit the -10 through one of my subs alone, much less it and a -6 return. I like them up in the tunnel above everything because of debris hitting them and they get to the engine out of site behind it. Will there be heat problems up there for the lines? They're the Aeroquip blue pushlock lines. My exhaust is completely out of the way and I have ceramic coated headers. I don't want to cause any problems with this. I just don't like my lines hanging low under the car.
Thanks guys.
Dave
