Default Fuel setup help AWESOME drawing attached

Now that I've got you in with my awesome drawing. I've searched and every question is a little bit different so I've attached a drawing and a parts list if someone could help me out. I am making my first attempt at a 700+ car and need some advice. If this setup will restrict me from getting to 700 that's fine, but this is a street car that will make some track appearances so having the absolute best flowing setup I could have is not the intent. The intent is trying to keep it simple (no sumping, factory tank)I am putting the aeromotive stealth 340 in the tank, 8an feed and 6an return with an 044 in line these are set in stone and I am not going to change that. The questions that I have are as follows:
-According to the drawing is it laid out right?
-What size is the in/out on an 044 pump?
-Does the filter go before or after the 044 pump?
-What micron should the filter be?
-Anyone found better deals? looks like hoses and fittings to be around $220

Hopefully you can read the printout of the shopping cart, but if you can't it contains{#1} (1) -8 male o-ring to -6 male, {#2}(2) -6 90's,{#3} (2) -6 hose ends,{#4} (1) -8 to -8 female coupler this is to go between filter and 044 pump(if needed?){#5} (2) -8 90's,{#6} (2) -8 hose ends,{#7} (15') -6 braided fuel line,{#8} (15') -8 braided fuel line

Thanks in advance for your help and if I missed the answers to my questions in my searching if you could point me in the right direction.
Thanks,

1) Yes

2) 18mm inlet x 12mm outlet. The adaper fitting you purchase will determine the AN size. I'd recommend 8 AN x 18mm & 6 AN x 12mm (KFI sells these)

3)In this case - after. The Aeromotive pump should have a filter on it's inlet. That filters the fuel before each pump.

4)10 micron

5)I don't shop that stuff.

If you want to save a few bucks, you really only need 6an between the aeromotive and bosch pumps. the only complication would be on the inlet of the 044; I'm only aware of 8an x 18mm or 10an x 18mm fittings. so if you ran 6 an between them, you'd need a 6an reducer on the 8an x 18mm fitting.

We carry everything you need. As sc_at_QuaifeUS was saying a -6 feed line will be sufficient for your power.

For the inlet we carry the 18mm to -6 fitting. Depending on what kind of fuel you'll be using this will determine what kind of fuel filter your need. If you will be using gasoline only, then the aeromotive 10 micron will be fine. If you will be using e85 then use the fuel lab 6 micron fuel filter.

Just stick with the -8 man so that you can always go up in your setup later.

That was my thoughts. I was trying not to get into a feed line size debate, cause I have already modified my stock pump hanger to accept -8 feed and -6 return and those fittings are welded on and are not changing.

I appreciate everyone's help.

I haven't bought anything yet, so PM me a price when you get a chance. I am in need of everything along the path of the fuel except fuel rail and the two pumps.
(hoses, fittings, FPR, FP gauge, filter) If you could though quote fittings and hoses seperate from gauge and FPR. I will be running pump and C16 VP fuel.

I will need a catch can setup as well in the future if you wanted to quote that too. (6 hose style polished or black doesn't matter to me)
