Well, that was fast. Already on to the first update.
Napa, O'Reilly Auto Parts, and Autozone all wanted around $220-260 for a fuel pump assembly. I went on Rock Auto and found the same assemblies for $110. However, Rock Auto also showed that you can get just the pump and strainer and rebuild the assembly yourself for around $65-70. Then I went on eBay and found an AC Delco pump and strainer kit for $44.99 including Saturday delivery.
So, I will be documenting how to replace the pump and strainer in a GM fuel pump module over the weekend. This information will also be applicable for '00-'05 Cavalier/Sunfire & Malibu, '00-'04 Alero, '01-'03 Saturn LW200/LW300, and '01-'05 Saturn L100/L200/L300. If all goes well, I'll have a working fuel pump at a savings of $175 over a complete module.
Dad is looking into salvage yard mirrors and a left taillight right now - since he works at a body shop he has all the contacts for used parts.
As always, feel free to berate my choice of cars in the comments below.

I get wanting to save money, and the pump/strainer may be the only "wear parts" but you should just get the assembly. It is quicker, and most of the time the wiring and plastic parts become brittle with age.
Just replace it for the $100.

It's weird looking up stuff and not have to scroll to page 2 or 3 to find the year.

Either way I have to drop the tank and pull the sender. If I can change the parts for $100 less than a new sender, awesome. If not, return the parts and order a sender. I have another vehicle so I'm only out some time I'd spend on my ass in front of a computer otherwise.

Gotcha, if you have a second vehicle that great.

Bugs the shit out of me, because if I wanna watch something that they stream at midnight, or for 3 hours, on Twitch I could watch it later. MLG you cannot.

I knew a few guys who played (or at least tried to) through MLG back 3 or 4 years ago. All of them were "flat-brimmed 420yoloswag Monster Energy bro" types.
