For the tank vent it just needs to be higher than the tank. I run a small K&N air cleaner on the end of mine, and it is mounted in the rear axle hump, Mine is an Ebody. What size hoses are you using for feed and return lines? I run a 3/8 feed and 5/8 return, no starvation issues so far.

This is my system.
