Just get one to match your vehicle. Make sure it comes with all new washers.

Other than that, it's a pretty straightforward procedure, just make sure you have rags around to catch the fuel that spills out.

No there isn't an underbody fuel filter just the one attached to the firewall. Just get the part for your original car, unless you wanted to upgrade to an aftermarket one like AEM with a replaceable element inside it. Technically there is also a filter bag on the inlet of your fuel pump but you gotta take the back seats out and get the pump out of the tank to service that thing.

Also make sure you open the gas cap to release fuel pressure in the lines, and crack the fuel line loose from the filter before unbolting it from the firewall.

there is a fuel filter on the firewall and there is the fuel pump located inside your car.
