Should I remove the fuel pump and begin rebuilding or should I try to see if I get fuel with new tank and lines?

If you got 2 hours to kill then might as well try it. Remember to scribe the parts (or take a photo) so that the inlet and exit ports are positioned correctly on reassembly. Usually they were made rotationally symmetrical so that one pump would work for more cars.

Thanks for the guidance. I will do some reading and watching tonight - I plan to remove the pump tomorrow and begin the rebuild process.

Do I need to remove the heat shield or any other parts to remove the fuel pump? Is this best removed from above or below the engine?

Yes, the heat shield must come off (one bowls is one that holds on the pump anyway) but I typically remove it from the top. Be aware that there are, or should be, phenolic washers and phenolic sleeves on the bolts to minimize the transfer of heat.
